Hi Sam, When you use "*.*", you will always match the current directory (".") and the parent directory (".."). You will need to loop using FindNextFile and eliminate those two directories. You may also want to check the attributes of the entry you matched and eliminate ALL directory entries. e.g. if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) {} ~Rick
