check and customize this sample:

FindFirstFile: Recursive File Search for Single or Multiple File Types
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/fileapi/recursivefiles_minimal_multiple.htm

to get the file size, you can try use the FileLen function, like:

filelen(yourfilepath)

No this does not help my problem...

I am using list box... and on the click of button i am able to display the file name... using this code

Dim oFs As New FileSystemObject
Dim sAns() As String
Dim oFolder As Folder
Dim oFile As File
Dim lElement As Long

Dim X, lngbytes, y

ReDim sAns(0) As String
If oFs.FolderExists(Text1.Text & "\") Then
Set oFolder = oFs.GetFolder(Text1.Text & "\")
For Each oFile In oFolder.files
lElement = IIf(sAns(0) = "", 0, lElement + 1)
ReDim Preserve sAns(lElement) As String
sAns(lElement) = oFile.name

list1.additem (ofile.name)
Next

End If

but, i want that the list box should have three cols:-

1) File name
2) File Path
3) Size

I know in list box we should have always one data.. what if i use Datagrid or msflex grid????

can i get the information in any other controls.. with the names of the cols as i have mentioned and the files from the folder......................in VB only

please let me know
