what contents? the files, the directories?<br />
are you aware that VB comes with a filelistbox control, where all you need to do is put the path and the filter in.<br />

The thing is that I am simply tring to make it as simple as possible for my end users. and I think that the check box method would be easier for them. and I would like to list all files inside a particular directory. &nbsp;and have the files listed in a list box so that the end user simply clicks on the check mark and that's it.

<div>
assuming your listbox is called lstFiles, and is configured to checkbox display<br />
<br />
lstFiles.Clear<br />
<br />
strFile = Dir(&quot;YourFolder\&quot;)<br />
while strFile &lt;&gt;&nbsp;empty<br />
&nbsp; lstFiles.Add strFile<br />
&nbsp; strFile = Dir<br />
wend<br />
<br />

</div>


assuming your listbox is called lstFiles, and is configured to checkbox display

lstFiles.Clear

strFile = Dir("YourFolder\")
while strFile <> empty
  lstFiles.Add strFile
  strFile = Dir
wend

VB6 Display directory content into a list box

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
