>I want the user to type in a number in a text box to find files that match the number in a directory and then list the files in the combo box that the user can select to view the file.


Look at ADIR() to get a list of files, I think you can use a COM version of Filer aswell... though never tried that.

As for combo box, you could set its source to be the array returned from ADIR,
or you can loop through the Array and call .AddListItem() on the combo.
