>Not to really add anything to what Ed told you, but to simply say that the WSH makes a number of possible rather easily from with VFP that previously either couldn't be done directly (like short cut links) or that took a good deal of code to accomplish. Since it provides quite a number of high useful properties and methods, it deserves serious consideration. I think you'll come to the conclusion, as I did, that it needs to be part your toolset.

OTOH, I will also highly recommend your DLL for non-WSH situations, or a quick fix. Very easy to use.
