[AccessD] Grab filenames

But it does work in A97 unless you try to set the filename property (at least on my box).  Unless I'm getting access to that object from some other application I installed.

If I loop through folder I can print all the file names.  If I try to filter I crash.

Thanks,

What version of Access are you using?  It wasn't available in 97, but you did have access to the FileSystem object through VBA.

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
