Question : How do I open .jpg files with VBA code using wildcards

I have one MS Access db tool that stores a pictures filename, and using that, the user can click a button which will bring up a form window to view a linked picture using that filename.

I am currently working on another Access db tool where I also want to allow the user to be able to click a button and open a picture.  Each record in the parent table has a unique record code which appears in a combobox on my main form and is user selectable.  The legacy photos for these records are all uniquely named using the record code as a prefix, and then some other text which isn't necessarily predictable. (The filenames for these pictures are not stored with each record as in the db tool first mentioned.)  Is there a way to use wildcards so that I can call for the photo using only the unique prefix in its filename and ignoring what comes after that?

The filenames are like:

uniquerecordcode_xxxx.jpg

where xxxx is a variable length string and is always preceeded by a "_".

Thanks,  me

where are pictures stored?

assuming the path to the pictures is "c:\myPictures"

you can get the complete filename with this code

dim picFile as string,picPath as string
picPath="c:\myPictures"
picFile=dir(picPath & "\" & me.comboName & "_*.jpg")
