Dir () code -- Dave Peterson
This is just a guess--I don't have access to a network.
But maybe you could add a line DoEvents right before the line that says to go get another filename. If that doesn't help, you may want to post the code. Maybe someone on a network can test it and come up with a better solution. Myriam wrote: I have been using Dave Peterson's code to retrieve directories. I did add the application.volatile to recalculate/update the list. It works perfect in my C drive. However, when I am in a net, and retrieving dir from a server it gets somewhat "confused". What I am thinking is that it takes a few more seconds to retrieve the info from the net and the list does not get updated until I close and open the form again. Could you please help me one more time? How can I refresh it without closing the form? Thanks! -- Dave Peterson |

Dir () code -- Dave Peterson
Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow when I get to the network. I'll post back the
results. "Dave Peterson" wrote: This is just a guess--I don't have access to a network. But maybe you could add a line DoEvents right before the line that says to go get another filename.

Dir () code -- Dave Peterson
I tried DoEvents and it did not help.
The problems arises in late afternoon, I guess backing up server messes up the connections (?). During the day, and only sometimes, the list box displaying the files shrinks to one line only. ( I gave it enough space to display 4 files at a time).This happens when I run the program in the network (again in my C drive is perfect). Is there a property that maybe I am not setting properly?

I don't have a guess (and I don't have access to a network to test).

I will research further and if I find a solution I'll post it and let you know. Thanks for all your help. "Dave Peterson" wrote: I don't have a guess (and I don't have access to a network to test).

There's another delaying function that you can play with:
See application.wait in VBA's help. But I wouldn't put too much faith in it. Myriam wrote: I will research further and if I find a solution I'll post it and let you know. Thanks for all your help.
