    OpenFileDialog

    I would like to open an OpenFileDialog box with a certain prefix. For
    example all files beginning with AllState.

    How do you do that?

    Thanks...Arne

      If I am understanding what you mean then this will work

      The bit before the pipe is the description that appears in the dialog box
      OpenFileDialog1 .Filter = "(State files) | allstate*"

      OpenFileDialog1 .ShowDialog()

          That works thanks...but if the name is a variable (ie name = taxtbox1.text)
          do I need to enclose it in what?

          Thanks
