Urs,
it works here, EXCEPT for *.* ;-)

Urs:

I (like Karl) have found that it works for me if I use something other than
*.* for the template.

Hi Karl and Roger,

Shure, File() works. I was a little unprecise with "never"!
But, in my understanding Roger wanted to look for any file with *.*
And for that, the length of the array, returned by Directory() does the job.
Or?

In "my very irrelevant opinion" *.* should work and return false with a
empty and true with a not empty directory.

regards
Urs

Thank you!
Hope it will give a SP4 (with or without some $$$!! (g) )
