This pointed me in the right direction - I changed data type and also added in some error checking in case the folder didn't exist and it is now working. thank you!!

Dear experts - <br />
We had a routine that was working perfectly, but now it is choking on determining the size of a given folder with the 3 lines below.<br />
I imagine it has something to do with the new server, which is running MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2 Datacenter.<br />
<br />
It seems to be choking on the following lines:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Set objfso = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.Fi<wbr />leSystemOb<wbr />ject&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Set objfolder = objfso.GetFolder(thisname)<wbr /><br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; tsfoldersize = objfolder.Size<br />
<br />
Any ideas? Alternate approaches? (We are running a report and for each directly listed, we need to show the folder size)<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Folder size in Access VBA

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
