It's one of these things a dozen people have written because once you get a new version of VFP everything has to be recompiled...

Hi James,

Actually, it's not hard to write this utility. Check this thread, for example, for looping through whole drive: Coding, syntax & commands Re: How to work with files in system/hidden folders Thread #314887

You may check type (extension) of file and depending on that use Compile or compile classlib. Or better do it on directory level, e.g if it's a direcory, do cd where and two commands...
