Hi Karen,
I thought about the choose but getting the number of lines is tricky.
The Little Old Lady will give me a strange look if I have to tell her she
has to scroll down!
Why can't you show me all the scans for a given day, she will say.
So I suppose I could do a dir to a text file, import the file into a temp
table, delete the unwanted lines, then count the remaining rows.
But LoadFileName with a filter is the better approach and I have it working
now thanks to Mike Byerly.

How about using the good old Choose that still works:
CHOOSE vtext for #LFILES IN c:\temp\4*.txt

Hi Mike,
I was trying to make it easy for the user to see only the files scanned
on a
given day.
What you are saying is that now I have to teach them how to enter
01082008????.pdf
I can just see the look on her face now!
Isn't there a way to limit the files that come up initally?
