Sorry - I hit tab when I should have hit return the fiorst time. The example below is corrected.

Try using the WSH Scripting.FileSystemObject; you can rerieve a Folder object using GetFolder and then step through the SubFolders collection to retrieve their sizes:


oFSO = CREATEOBJ('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
oFolder=oFSO.GetFolder('C:\MyFolderWithSubFolders')
IF oFolder.SubFolders.Count > 0
FOR EACH oSubFolder IN oFolder.SubFolders
? oSubFolder.Name, oSubFolder.Size
ENDFOR
