2 problems, maybe related. 1) My recursive program is generating a "called to early to check prototype" error. Ive Googled for answers but cannot find a solution
2) When this executes, it traverses 8 directories in F:\\Inetpub\\Develop then stops and traverses 8 directories in F:\\Inetpub\\Publish I cannot seem to figure out why it's giving up so early when there's more than 8 directories in each folder.
