Did you remember to check the Microsoft Scripting Runtime in your References
for the project. Then declare a variable as a new filesystemobject. Then
declaring other variables as file or drive or folder or texstreams should
work. They should pop up on your list after you type the as.

Subject: [pro_vb] Activating filesystems


Hi,

  I've returned to VB after a year and would now like to use filesystems
instead of input statements (as recommeneded in the help files). I wrote
some code and it didn't recognize the types used by filesystems (I got a
compile error when I dimed a variable as type file for instance). I'm
assuming that I have to activate it by using project components or
references. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Neil
