Hi Kevin,

I was wondering if this was what you were after in a recent post. Here's the answer: The Windows Script Host (mild fanfare, please). The file system object has a type property for both files and folders. Here's a sample:

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
oFile = oFSO.GetFile(lcfile)
? oFile.Type

What that returns depends solely on the file, but basically it'll match what's shown in the Windows Explorer. How's that?
