I've written several "drive-browsers" using buddy API. You'd have to work your way through the directory structures, storing file and folder info along the way (I'd suggest an object for that), with two functions - baFileList() and baFolderList(). As for efficiency, I'm not sure that cataloguing the host 'puter is very efficient, but if you are targeting a single folder, it would be pretty quick. If you want to see the "browsing" code, just ask. -Kurt [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
