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

Don't I know it <g>.
..MoveNext the bane of my life. If I get a bug in a recordset iteration it's
because I've missed that line by typing faster than I can think (and I don't
type fast <g>).

Firstly, Seasons greetings to both you and your families.
Thank you so much, between the 2 of you I managed to piece it together.
I would like to go 2 steps further if you can assist:
I think this is a big ask & will test you.. :-)
1. I need to copy a portion of text from 1 field to another. eg "Tom Jones -
She's A Lady"... I would like to cut "Tom Jones - " delete the 2 spaces &
dash then paste "Tom Jones" into the new field, structured in a loop fashion
to do all records that match this type of criteria.
2. It would save me literally months of data entry if there was a way of
copying the "tag info" of each file, that which is displayed in the windows
explorer.
Thx again.
TIA

Mark, Are you trying to read in the MP3 tags off of MP3 files, or are
you using the file names themselves?

G'day chuck,
Thx for replying, I actually have imported all the file names already, I was
hoping there was a way of extracting the tagged info that accompanies mp3
files.
unless there is another program that can store tag info & export in
tab/comma delimited.
thx again.

Check out the Tag & Rename program. It will do exactly that! http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm
I think it's about $25.
If you want to do it all inside Access, there are a couple of MP3
class files on the web that can do this, but the tag&rename program is
a lot nicer to use, and has a bunch of nice features already built-in
that you won't have to program in.
I have the Tag&&Rename program myself (I'm a user, I didn't write it)
and use it for editing the tags and exporting the tag information to a
CSV, then I import the data into my MP3 Database in Access/SQL.
I spent quite a bit of time doing it all myself with my own code, but
in the end it was just easier and simpler to do it with the Tag&Rename
program (which will also link up with a couple of CD Libraries on the
web and grab information for you.)
