pro_vb thread: export, extract Data from explorer on file contents of cdrom to access table


Message #1 by "mike kerr" <mikezcg@y...> on Thu, 17 Jan 2002 19:23:10
Check out the following site.

http://www.planet-source-code.com/

Change the language to Visual Basic (Top, right combo box) Search for
"recursive".  There are several example programs you can download and run to
see if it accomplishes what you are trying to do.  Some will use the
Filesystem object, some will use DIR() function and some will use API calls.
I have used all three and unless you are dealing with a network they all
work great.  When dealing with a network, the Filesystem Object runs
entirely too slow, when compared to DIR() and API calls.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
