Anytime, Rick. I know what you mean. I thought I recalled something about this here, but it was the good old Win32 help file that came through. I looked up FindFirstFile (which I knew about previously), then the group, and there it was.

BTW, whenever you have an article in Advisor, it's always the first thing I "devour". Always very informative.
