I have tried Rocky's application(FS_A) as well as John's code(FS_B). Both are working fine.
FS_A is a sweet finished application with built in Folder browsing whereas this feature can be suitably added to FS_B.
On the other hand, FS_B gets much more information about the files and also covers subfolders.
Note - It has to be ensured that following References are available amongst others -
(a) Microsoft Scripting Runtime
(b) Microsoft Office 10 (Or 9) Object Library
Thanks to you both - John , Rocky.
Regards,
A.D.Tejpal

I'm running OXP and I don't even find the Extensibility in my list of
references, but it shouldn't make any difference. How annoying,
especially since I know I've used this in the past with A2k.

I've got a couple of references checked which you may not have although
it should fail to compile without them?
Windows Script Host Object Model
VBA Extensibility 5.3
OLE Automation
Office 9.0 Object Library
DAO 3.6 Object Library
Access 9.0 Object Library
VB for A
Is varPicturePath returning the right value?
It's also set up to retrieve only files with .jpg extension.
.FileName = "*.jpg"
