>>IMHO, the MSDN site was a bit difficult to go through. I really made the FileSystemObject start humming after reading Gene Salley's article in FoxPro Advisor (May or June issue of 1999 I think). As a side note, he had a follow up article on the NetworkObject as well that was excellent. The FSO is probably the best route for get file and drive information in any event.

I looked it up, May 1999 article "Painless System Programming" by Gene Salley covers the FileSystemObject and August 1999 "Let Your Applications Talk with Windows" by Gene Sally. Both were excellent articles. BTW, My thirst for Guiness qualifies me for the first part <g>, now if I could just develop a taste for Foxtools.
