Hi James,

>I am doing what I "believe" is correct but the value always returns a "0" and it should return the file count.

First, make sure the directory is not hidden, then do:

?dire('C:\programfiles\')

Make sure this is the correct spelling, your originla post had no space (Usually there is :-), then make sure there are actual files, folders don't count, to get folders, do:

?adir(aFiles, 'C:\program files\*', 'D')
