I'd suggest you look into the FileSystemObject. It will provide the tools you need in VB to scan through a folder and identify and access the files. As for searching their contents, there are various ways you might implement that, but you need to find the files first.

What version of VB are you using?

(Also, I've changed the subject of the thread, as "total Beginner" is not much help when searching the forum.)
