ADir() will work but Ed's enthusiasm has infected most of us. You could use the Scripting.FileSystemObject.

oFS = createobject("scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFolder = oFS.GetFolder("\")
return oFolder.Files.Count+oFolder.SubFolders.Count

This will return the number of files and subdirectories in the specified directory.
