[AccessD] CmdRunApp Help

I understand that.
I appologise for this, but I interpreted your E-mail as a better way of
dooing things (which is true from what I understand now) then the VBA
functions.

My remark was not intentioned as an alternative solution but as a
question to you to know what is better about FSO cause I never used it
in Access (only in ASP).
This "nuance" most have been lost in the translation.
Again my appologies.
Hope you accept it.

Erwin

Nope, I use it because it has a programming model, with properties /
methods / child objects, complete with intellisense.

I do a ton of things like saving email attachments (from the Outlook
model) to specific directories, then using the filesystemobject to get a
directory and use the built-in iterator (for next) to iterate all files
in the directory importing payments, claim number updates and the likes
into a database.  Once I started doing that, I just wrote wrappers
around the code to dim the FSO and instantiate it, plus use a specific
command.  Having that code in place, I rarely use anything else unless
the FSO is specifically disabled on a specific client's net / machine.

I simply asked you to provide code because the gentleman originally
asked how to do this.  I provided an answer with code.  You provided a
"why not use the built-in vb commands".  I can find the built-in
commands should I ever need them, but the original gentleman obviously
needed help.  "Why not use the built-in VB commands" barely qualifies as
helpful.

Ah sorry John
I conclude with Gustav.
I learned these commands in GW-Basic/Quick Basic or something.

I just presumed you knew these commands and are using filesystemobject
for some specific reasons I'm not aware of.
Like speed, I sometimes have the impression that FileCopy is slower than
dooing a explorer copy.

Hi John

> Why not post code as I did?

Ahh John, it's too easy:

    FileCopy sourcefile, destfile
    Name destfile As johnsfile.txt

/gustav

> Why using the filesystemobject and not the regular VBA commands?
> Faster?
