how to use items in a list as a hyperlink

[sam]

Hi all,

Kindly have a look to the code given below
************************************************** ***************************
Public Function CountFiles(strDir As String, Optional SubDir As
Boolean) As Long

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = strDir
.FileName = "*.*"
.SearchSubFolders = SubDir
If .Execute 0 Then
CountFiles = .FoundFiles.count
End If

For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.count
Me.list1.AddItem (.FoundFiles(i))
Next i

End With
End Function
************************************************** **********************
you must have understood that this code is helping me to count the
number of files in a given folder and adding the names of those files
in a listbox.
It is adding the file name in the list box as
"I:\folder1\subfolder1\file1.doc"
but i want the name to be added in the list box as "file1.doc"

My second question is , is it possible to open the same file in the
list box by double clicking the filename.

can any one give me the solution for the problem.

I think the FileSearch object is a bit limited. Here is similar code
using the more powerful FileSystemObject:

Private Function fsoCountFiles(ByVal strDir As String)
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim folder As Scripting.folder
Dim file As Scripting.file

Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(strDir)
For Each file In folder.Files
Me.List4.AddItem (file.Name)
Next file
Set file = Nothing
Set folder = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Function

Then the double-click event:
Private Sub List4_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strFullName As String
'Text0 has the root for the search.
strFullName = Me.Text0.Value & "\" &
List4.ItemData(List4.ListIndex)
Application.FollowHyperlink strFullName
End Sub

Thanks tom

when i am running your code it is giving me compile error on this line

List4.ItemData(List4.ListIndex)

for ItemData it says "invalid use of property"

is it because my list box is unbound
the values that are in the list are not bound to any field in the table
these values are just the name of the files in a particular folder
i just want to open these files on double click

is there any solution to this problem
