Maybe you should try the FileListBox control and set the pattern to *.dat... then it will show only DAT files.

OK.[list=1][*]Start VB & New Project[*]Identify the FileListBox control in the ToolBar... it should be to the left... The FileListBox looks like a piece of paper that is folded at the corner[*]Double-click the icon and it will add a file listbox to your form.[*]Make sure that the filelistbox is selected... then locate the properties window... it should be to the right, and it says Properties[*]Scroll the scrollbar until you find the Pattern property. Click it and then type *.dat[*]That should create a list of .dat files when you start VB.[*]You may have to change the Path property of the FileListBox to the directory that you want to view.[/list=1]
