How to Find a File?

[OLEType]

I am working on a project and would like to know if a certain file exists on
the users computer. Unknown is the directory the file resides in. I would like
to be able to do a system search for the file, like Find File or Folder, and
return the path, if the file exists.

If anyone can please send a snippet or source to accomplish this, it would be
greatly appreciated. Most definetly, please post in NG for everyone.

Thanks in advance,
O

This is a crummy way to do it, but it *should* work, and may fuel a
more creative idea.
Shell to DOS and do a 'dir /s', pipe the output to a file. Parse the
file to find out if the target file is on the system.
Remember that the shell command runs async...

Good Luck!

How about the common dialog ActiveX control.
