Answer 1

In VB6 you want to use FileSystemObject of the Microsoft Scripting Runtime. You can access to the scripting runtime by setting a reference to it.

The .NET framework has a similar but more capable set of file/directory handling object in the System.IO namespace

The following an example of how to use FileSystemObject in VB6.

Dim FSO As FileSystemObject
Dim Folder As Folder
Dim SubFolder As Folder
Dim File As File

Set FSO = New FileSystemObject

Set Folder = FSO.GetFolder("C:\")
For Each File In Folder.Files
    Debug.Print File.Name
Next File

For Each SubFolder In Folder.SubFolders
    Debug.Print SubFolder.Name
Next SubFolder

Set Folder = Nothing
Set SubFolder = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
