Hi Naoto

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm not a big fan of arrays since VFP could have had far more array functions but doesn't. Good idea. I think I'd rather have a routine to recurse and build the list of folders and then call the GetBadDbfs routine per folder. That way each one is separate and encapsulated.
