ADIR() file limit

[EmmaLu]

I have noticed with VFP8 using ADIR() to create a list of file names in a specified folder produces an error 31 if there are more than around 13,000 files. In VFP9 I don't get that error. Is there a way to increase the number of files ADIR() can count in VFP8?

I tried the DIMENSION function but still no luck.

Thanks

No, in VFP prior to version 8 the array limit is 65K items. You may try using loop with sys(2000) or FileSystemObject.

Thanks for the help.

BTW, I mistyped. I meant all versions including version 8 have this limitation. In VFP9 the arrays sizes are limited by available memory only.
