I was writing some code when I discovered if I do the following I get random data<br />
<br />
Text2 = Dir(&quot;&quot;, vbNormal)<br />
in this case I jot ADDSCCUS.DLL, in another program I had about.frm<br />
<br />
System Vista Home Prem<br />
VB6 with SP6<br />
<br />
i have written code that test for a blank line but I am surprised it works this way<br />
Is DIR not the comand to use anymore?<br />
Has some one an explanation?

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.
