    Seaching for files question

    Hello,



    I have a field with a PO number.

    I want to search a file directory for a pdf file with a name that contains that PO number.

    I have been reading articles about recursive file searches, but they are a little over my head.

    Trying to understand recursives can twist the brain a bit. Maybe shouldn't try to understand, just use it.

    Does this help clarify http://www.ammara.com/access_image_f...er_search.html

    However, if you know the exact folder to search, recursive should not be needed.
