G'day ppl
Is there a process whereby I can copy the text labels of all the files in a
root directory?
I recall going back a long way seeing something about it but did not take
any notice as I didn't think I would ever use it.
TIA

Mark, I think you might have posted this to the wrong newsgroup. This group
is for support of Microsoft Access, the desktop database application.

G'day Randy & thx for your reply.
Totally aware of the NG, my dilemma is that I want to import the root
directory file labels into a table, hence the reason I am posting in an
access forum.
Cheers.
Mark.

I think your looking for something like
dim strName as string
strname = Dir("c:\*.*")
do while len(strname) > 0
debug.print strname
strname = dir

Oops, sorry. Bad assumption on my part.
The code that Terry provided should do nicely, just substitute an insert for
the debug.print.

Although Terry, code did not work, though I have no idea if I did it correct
or not.
I paste the code behind the OnClick of a cmdbtn but zip happened.
here's the deal:
Using this code, I would like it to collect the info that is displayed in
the explorer view of a folder.
this info would be:
Name/Size/Type/Duration....... ...etc...etc..
I am building a jukebox/library of all the mp3/mpeg/dvd I have on my system,
and don't really want to have to pain stakingly input every one of them.
Thx again
Mark.

Well I think you're missing where the output is going.
After you click the button press Ctrl-G on the keyboard that will take you
to the Immmediate window where you should see the file names listed.

I've done this... essentially all you need to do inside the loop is
indicate where the data is going...
'--specify where the information is going to go...
dim rsFiles as DAO.recordset
set rsFIles = DbEngine(0)(0). OprenRecordset( "MyDestTable",d bOpenTable)
'--Borrowed from Terry Kreft...
dim strName as string
strname = Dir("c:\*.*")
do while len(strname) > 0
'debug.print strname
strname = dir
'--Write to table...
rs.AddNew
rs.Fields("File Name")=strname
rs.Update
loop
rs.close
set rs=nothing
Whoops, slight error there piet. It should be as below except
do while len(strname) > 0
'debug.print strname
'--Write to table...
rs.AddNew
rs.Fields("File Name")=strname
rs.Update
strname = dir ' Get thye next one after you've written to the recordset

Is it possible to copy a table from one schema to another schema by just
copying the frm file to the directory for the new schema?
What is the best way to create a new database with all the tables in it
automatically?
I was hoping to have the tables (the frm files) included in a subdirectory
and when required, just create a new schema then copy all the frm files into
it.

I am writing an app that will sit on the desktop. It needs to be able to

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
