Try Rocky's stuff.  I'm encountering problems with the FileSearch myself
this morning.

Actually I want to specify the filetype tho I don't care about the name.

I'm running a chunk of code now but it's being going 10 minutes and I'm
not sure what it's doing 'cause I forgot to turn on the immediate
window. Duh!

Oops, you're right.  I forgot about that problem.  But Roz is just
trying to get all the filenames in the folder, so she doesn't need that
line anyhow.

Roz,

Please let us know if this attached code works for you.  I've been
trying the FileSearch object since Susan H. and Charlotte mentioned it a
couple of weeks ago but I keep crashing on the ".Filename =" line
(Invalid procedure call error).

Thanks,

I think you'd have to do it with a FileSearch and write the results of
each FoundFiles item into the table.  Here's a FileSearch sample.

Sub SimpleSearch()
  'Perform simple search using the FileSearch object,\.
  Dim varItem as Variant
  With Application.Filesearch
    .NewSearch
    .FileName = "*.ini"
    .LookIn = "C:\Windows"
    .Execute
    For Each varItem in .foundFiles
      Debug.print varItem
    Next varItem
  End With
End Sub

Hi all 
Does anyone have a code snippet for pulling file search results into
Access?

What I want is to pull the filename, path & size of all files of a given
type on a particular drive, including those in subfolders, into a table.
I need to do it *fast*!!! TIA 
Roz
