just got round to trying it and it works a treat

plus i adapted the code to
Code:
Dim WAD As System.IO.FileInfo
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "PWAD Files|*.WAD"
********OpenFileDialog1.Title = "Select The WAD You Wish To Add"
********If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
************WAD = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
************TextBox1.Text = WAD.Name
End IF
And it had the desired effect
