    VB search

    Can anyone give me an idea of how to use VB to search a computer for a particular file, and to save the path to a string?

    Thanks.

    Re: VB search

    you can use VB's Dir function to (recursively) scan the directories for a file
    or
    use the FindFirstFile/FindNextFile APIs
    or
    use the SearchPath API (if you search for executables)
    there are probably numerous other methods...
