How can I perform a DIR recursively

[Ericthemapper]

I have a program that checks to see file is a subfolder or file using the DIR command in a Main Folder. I have a DIR inside that loop to check to see if a file is valid using the DIR command but I get an error when doing this.

Is there a way to use a DIR inside my 1st DIR loop or is there a way I can get to see if I have a valid file??

Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi Eric,

the problem with Dir is that it'll give you the results when first specifying the path, so using a Dir within a loop which is controlled by a Dir will reset your result set to the new path you're testing. So ss far as I know this wont work. What you *could* do is either use the FileSystemObject or store the results of the *outer* Dir in an array & loop through the array, leaving Dir free for use *within* the loop

HTH
