Hi,

Something strage happens using FilePattern. I use the function below to
display the names of pictures in a File Listbox.

Private Sub Text1_Change()
File1.Pattern = Text1.Text & "*.*"
End Sub

When I type 2004 in the textbox to display the picures taken in the year
2004 th efollowing are also diplayed.

20000905-vensterbank.jpg
20001001-fvo2.jpg
20001002-fvo2.jpg
20001002-fvo6.jpg
20001003-fvo2.jpg
20001005-fvo2.jpg
20001006-fvo2.jpg
20001006-fvo6.jpg
20001008-fvo2.jpg
20020813-aapjes.jpg
20031120-fvo2.jpg

Why are these displayed? When there is a picure called 20001002-fvo6.jpg
also the picures 20001002-fvo1.jpg / 20001002-fvo5.jpg exist. Only the
20001002-fvo2.jpg and 20001002-fvo6.jpg are wrongly sisplayed. And what
about 20000905-vensterbank.jpg and 20020813-aapjes.jpg?

Anyone?

Thanks.

go out to a DOS command window and use DIR to see what the short names
are for these files; I'm guessing they are 2004xxx.jpg

Lose the FileListBox and use the Dir$ function to loop through the
file names and add them to your own listbox.  That will let you
control what is displayed much better.
