Thanks for the information. I will try the listbox trick. There are many
little improvements I'd like to see in VB and I wish they'd release a VB7
instead of forcing everyone to vb.net, which I have no plans to ever use.
I didn't even notice that I had used "+" signs in my code until you brought
it up. I suppose I should have written it as;
sFilename = Dir(App.Path & "\Images\*.bmp")
