Well, provided the delivery is OK, it certainly is effective.

In this instance, Ed, I think the utility of the WSH can best be shown in how it can agument the listing, rather than just generating it. As we all know, one thing that the WSH doesn’t do is allow you to filter the files collection. This you have to do yourself.Using ADIR() in conjunction with the WSH, would allow you to call the FileSystemObject's GetFile() method to get things like the actual case of the file name, rather than ADIR()' all upper, or the file type, such as application, text file, etc. You could even setup the list so that a context menu could invoke a dialog much like the properties from the Explorer. Of course, this is all dependent on what you want to do.
