Hi,
I'm trying to write a program in Visual FoxPro. I need to put the names and locations of the files located into a directory/folder into a table.
Can anyone help me?
 
The ADIR() function will give you the names and a lot more besides. If you just want the names of files from folder lcDir in a field named filename then:

[TT]
n=Adir(laNames,lcDir)
Append From Array laNames Fields filename
[/TT]

Look up Adir in Help. There are lots of options and flags to control what it gives you.

Careful, ADIR() needs at least one file in a folder.
