Post subject: | File names into listbox? |
Hi all, I am trying to get a listbox to display rows populated with the names of all files in a particular folder. I saw a couple of posts (I think one was from Kem Tekinay), and tried to combine them and ended up with the code below. Could someone please tell me if this looks correct and would work. Dim f As FolderItem Thank you all in advance. |

You may find it is incredibly slow on Windows with folders that have many files in them. If that is the case, consider shelling out a DIR command, and piping that to a text file. (You may need to do two, one for TXT and one for RTF) DIR C:\myfoldername\*.RTF > C:\somewritablefolder\RTFFILES.txt If you do that, you get a text file that has already eliminated all but files that end in RTF. Just open the text file and throw it at your listbox. |

When you say "slow with a lot of files", how many files do you consider to be a lot? |

Not sure: this is mostly hearsay/recollecting old posts Check out this link, for example viewtopic.php?f=7&t=42126&hilit=slow+directory |
