[AccessDevelopers] Ascertaining file names

 

I have an ongoing need to import text files that were output from another application into an Access table. I will be doing this using VBA code. I know which folder these files will be in, and the file extension. Once each file has been imported I will rename it from something.PTX to something.XTP so that the file is retained but will be ignored by future imports.

The problem I have is that I will never know the file names, and there could be any number of them.

So essentially what I need to do is loop through the following:

open the first file I encounter in the folder with an extension of .PTX
import it
rename it

until no files with a .PTX extension remain.

I have no idea how to open a file for import within Access without knowing its name. Can anyone advise me how to go about this please?

Many thanks in advance.

Cathy
