dir & file listing local and over network
You could try using the common dialog control that should help, the other
alternative is to use the FileSystemObject - make a reference to scrrun.dll
and that should give you the info you need. You can do some of this through
native VB libraries or through API calls
Hi,
I am not yet so familiar with VB as with other languages,
but what I want to do is having an option to search or
select files. This selection must not be limited to the
local computer but also on the network. Everything I try
does not give me any network info.
I started trying existing examples too after the failures.
E.g. DATATREE in the VB package, it works fine. To get the
only required part of drive/file selection I stripped of
everything not necessary and it still worked.
Making a new form with the stripped statements copied gave
me the error: User-defined type not defined.
Even if I take the simple example in VB help:
Public Sub ProviderX()
Dim cnn2 As ADODB.Connection
' Open a connection using the Microsoft Jet provider.
Set cnn2 = New ADODB.Connection
cnn2.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51"
cnn2.Open "C:\Samples\northwind.mdb", "admin", ""
' Display the provider.
MsgBox "Cnn2 provider: " & cnn2.Provider
cnn2.Close
End Sub
It gives the same error.
I put this in a form but also in a module, no difference.
Can anybody say what is wrong.
Help would be appreciated to solve this problem.
Thanks.
Theo
