Hello friends out there:

I am new to VB so please don't laugh on my question. I am writing a
program in which I want the user to supply a file name (for opening as
sequential file) either through a text box or thorough a File List
control. It works fine with the text box, but not with the control. File
name is not transferred from the control to my program subroutine
(variable).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Are you using FileListControl.Filename to pass the filename.  If so, you
will probably need to tack on the path before the filename.
FileListControl.Filename returns *only* the filename and *not* the path.
I.e., returns RegEdit.exe *not* C:\Windows\RegEdit.exe.  The file will not
open unless you specify the full path.

Hope this helps.

To fill a list box you need to additem each line this was sent to me if you
don't get it drop me a line

To save combo1 content to the file test.txt, the file is stored in the
application folder:
'*****SAVING
MyFilename=app.path & "\test.txt":filenum=freefile
open MyFilename for output as #filenum
    for i=0 to combo1.listcount-1
        Print #Filenum, combo1.list(lop)
    next i
Close #Filenum

'*****LOADING
MyFilename=app.path & "\test.txt":filenum=freefile
open MyFilename for input as #filenum
While not eof (#filenum)
    Line input #Filenum, Dummy$
    combo1.additem Dummy$
wend
Close #filenum
