please help me.

After FindFirst/FindNext (int21 , function 4E/4F), the name and other infos about found file resides in DTA.

The name & extension of found file is at offset 0x1E of DTA

So, you should get DTA address (int 21 , function 2F) & put its segmentffset into DSX and add 0x1E to DX and then call OpenFile (int 21 , function 3D)
