Short Names/Dos Names/8.3

[Stu Duncan]

Yippee!!
That got it.
get shell("attrib -r" && quote & "C:\Program Files\Science Suite\*.*" & quote && "/S /D") works as hoped for.
That takes care of WinXP, now on to all of those other nasty Windows versions.

Thanks for your help.

Stu

  Stu, 

  get shell("attrib -r" && quote & "C:\Program Files\Science Suite\*.*" & quote && "/S /D") 

  should work. A space or ampersand char* in the path requires the path to be in quotes...
