What does it mean when I write this line PicName = CylinderFile(1).name
It is extracting the picture/figure of the cylinder. when I run it, it says Index exceeds array bounds. for this line.

Thank you. You were right the structure returned by dir, and my question now about the parentheses it has 1 as a value. Should it have a name of the folder instead.

The structure returned by dir can be accessed using indexing, so what your code does is perfectly valud code: it accesses the first element of that structure. If there are no elements, then you will need to figure out why dir did not match anything.
