Question

The input is the path of a parent folder. Wat the function must

Answer 1

VB6 has nothing that will do this in one click, but it's straightforward to get a list of all ZIP files (for example).

The FSO is not recommended for a couple of reasons: one, it adds a dependency, and two, it depends on scripting, which may be disabled per policy.

Anyway, here's a bare minimum example you can flesh out:

 Dim Fils() As String
 Dim Counter As Long
 Dim CurrentFile As String

 Redim Fils(0 To 999) As String

 CurrentFile = Dir$(yourpath & "*.zip")

 Do While LenB(CurrentFile)
   Fils(Counter) = CurrentFile
   Counter = Counter + 1
   CurrentFile = Dir$()
 Loop

Of course, you want to add limit checking, etc, and redim as needed, but this is the basic idea.
