Jeff,

The only way to is recurse the directory and its children. In some ways the FSO is easier than ADIR() since it separates the directories and files into different collections. Using ADIR(), however, is faster. Cetin Basoz, I think had a routine that used ADIR() that he's posted here several times, including recently. You might want to check his recent posts.
