Although i >have add "FA_DIREC",it works only in the current directory but files in >subdirectories were not found. Where is the problem? The problem is in your understanding of what FA_DIREC does. FA_DIREC does not cause findfirst to search subdirectories. It only causes "findfirst" to return the names of subdirectories (they are normally excluded). If you need to search subdirectories, you will need to write (recursive) code to search subdirectories. -- john nelson (jpn AT genrad DOT com)
