There are several ways to finde a solution for this. It depends on what you exactly want to do and how much effort you want to invest. Use the search function.

You can use the virtual Table "FILE" like:

File.setrange(Path,'C:\');

Path Is a file Name
C:\ No AltNaviDB <-- Is a folder
C:\ No ATI
C:\ No BCFONT
C:\ No Binaries
C:\ No C5450n
C:\ No Data
C:\ YE AUTOEXEC.BAT <-- is a file
C:\ YE AUTORUN.inf
C:\ YE bootfont.bin

so you can loop through the folders setrange(Path,Path+NameOfFolder)
and then you check, if there exist you needed file.

Also possible, you can use WSH -> FileSystemObject or WSH -> Files

this was the solution for auto finding.
If you need, that the user must select a file, you can use codeunit 412 (Common Dialog Management)
