I am having troubles trying to list on a form all files in a folder based on criteria.
I have tried both Allen Browne's solution and Daniel Pineault's solution, and they both seem* to work for ALL files in the folder.
What I need is the list to only show file names that start with a SKU # displayed in a text field ( [txtStockCode] ) on the form the listbox is on.
So something like - \folder\Archive BOM Copies\ & Me.[txtStockCode] & " *.htm "
For starters, would there be a better way to do this other than a listbox, like a sub-form?
If not, any ideas how I can filter the listbox based on what is in [txtStockCode] ?
Ultimately I want a clickable link to be able to open these files.
*I say seem to work as the file names that are displayed only show the name until there is a comma or parentheses in the file name. The files are saved to the folder as a concatenation of SKU+Description+Date(), and description commonly has comma's and occasionally parentheses.
Also, it doesn't show all files in the list, there are ~2500 files in the folder and growing daily and it only scrolls down a few hundred. Maybe a non-issue as I only want it to be able to show the ones that match the text field.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Since the path is being defined in the Form_Open Sub, shouldn't the variable then also be defined there?
Const sPath = "\FOLDERS\Eng_Dept\All_Staff\Engineering\Database Requirements\ExportReports\Archive BOM Copies"
Shouldn't there be something similar for the variable ([ txtStockCode ]) in the Sub also?
Is there anything in txtStockCode?
Okay, what are you getting?
Perhaps...
sFile = Dir(sPath & """ & [ txtStockCode ] & """ & "*." & sFilter)
I replaced:
sFile = Dir(sPath & "*." & sFilter)
With:
*sFile = Dir(sPath & """ & [txtStockCode] & """ & "*." & sFilter)*The immediate window is empty, listbox is empty.
