>>Don't think closing the file low level will change the attributes. But I'm sure there is an API or Windows Scripting Host call that can be made for this. I haven't had to do this so I don't know what it would be. You might poke around API and WSH to see and probably someone with more info on this will chime in. If no one does, I'll look at it myself and see what I can find out.

Thanks, Ed. I figured probably you or George would know this one off the top of your heads.
