I never knew you could do that. What impact does that have on reference counters, etc. and where do I read up on this technique. I couldn't find anything on it in VB6 MSDN?

Gotta Run but thanks for the cool example!

Have a great day!

Check out vb5prgrmr's comments on FSO in this thread... thread222-358873

In this example FSO may be faster but its not always (I believe often) the case.

The only slow part of FSO is retrieving individual items from the three collections it uses (Drives, Folders, Files). This is an inherent problem of Collections, rather than FSO itself (and why I use Dictionaries rather than Collections when I can).

In an application that makes intensive use of FSO's collections (such as a recursive method for walking the directory tree, which is what vb5prgrmr was specifically commenting about) FSO will be slower than using alternative strategies that avoid retrieving items from collections.
