I got if figured out, I think.

And InStr is the solution to recognizing whether a particular files TYPE is in a list of types as identified in a FILE TYPE list.

Thanks for the offers of help.

A question regarding matching FolderItem (FI) file types/ extensions against a list of such types/extensions....

So I have a list of extensions of acceptable file types.

I also have a folder with multiple files of various types.

I want to select all the files in that folder that are of a type/ extension that matches any of those found in the list of acceptable types/extensions.

Is there a call that will see if a file's type/extension is in that list? Or do I have to do a series of hard-wired ORs; one for every item in the list?

Let me take a wild guess here. It's....

...InStr(FileType, type/extension)

Please correct me if I'm wrong.....
