There was a handy example of populating the msoutline control using a recussive build of the directory of a drive letter in "The Hackers Guide to VFP 3.0". From the editors of Fox Advisor. You could change it slightly to search for a file name or pattern. This book was a handle feature/bug/what the hey reference for me when I started with VFP3. Hope they do something similar for 5. Reading it lead to a number of 'ah ha' experiences.
