>Ah, that's useful - I was wondering about permissions. For example, in W2K there is a folder "C:\System Volume Information" to which one has no access - even as Administrator. Sure enough, if I do

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject") && OK
>oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder("C:\System Volume Information") && OK
>?oFolder.Size && Same error

The code I used was:

Dim oFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim oFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set oFSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder("C:\")
MsgBox oFolder.Size
