wsh2, thank you
just to understand it better what is "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" (SCRRUN.DLL) being used for?
Setting the reference, provides the SCRRUN.DLL interfaces so that you can use the File System Object class programming contained inside of it. In essence, rather than programming all the nuts and bolts of File System Access, you are hooking into a Microsoft program library that provides that functionality, and then using the methods and properties there to achieve what you want.. <smile>.

The main difference between a Component and a Reference is that a Component usually requires a form / graphical interface while a reference does not. As such.. FSO (SCRRUN.DLL) is just like a Microsoft Control, only it does not require a Graphical User interface.
