I don't need to click or drag anything. I don't want a UI at all. All I want is a routine that I can feed a string to and have it return a list of files (in a cursor or array) that contain that string.

I can't really assume ActiveDesktop. For now, it's for internal use, but we may sell the utility if it works out. I need to plan ahead.

Looks like I'm just going to have to write it myself to get what I want. :)

Thanks,

Michelle

>If the machine has the ActiveDesktop installed, you can use the Shell.Application object's FindFiles method. While it doesn't allow editing by double clicking the result, dragging a file into the Command window causes VFP to open it in the desired builder.
