Ye kinda, except with recursion if you do it too deep you get an "out of stack space". With a loop it just never returns and you have to hit the break key. John W.

Recursion is when you have a function call itself. Function SomeFunction() DoThis() DoThat() For Each Something In SomethingElse SomeFunction Next End function Not it will repeat itself until all elements have been used.

I hate it when you make me look words up... Hmmn, didn't help... "Recursive: An expression, such as a polynomial, each term of which is determined by application of a formula to preceding terms." Polynomial? eep, maths!

I'm re-ripping a lot of my cd collection, and some of the tracks/albums are being named more correctly as the online catalogs are more up to date than before, which is leaving me with a lot of empty folders. I have deleted the ones in the main tree, but as for going through all the artists folders and deleting the empty album names, that's going to be a pain... I was thinking that there has to be an easier way to do it than just looking... Jon The information in this e-mail is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
