A million thanks to Ulrich for his awesome cFileSearch class!!!

I'm trying to make a little back up prog for my code files due to working on
laptop at home, desktop at work, and usb harddrive to port from one to the
other back and forth
so sometimes i'm working on any of the 3, and i'm trying to make a quick way
to make sure the lastest version is on all 3 drives.

so i search certain folders using cFileSearch in a class i created which
compares dates and raises events
RaiseEvent FirstFileNewer(Filename)
RaiseEvent SecondFileNewer(Filename)
etc
a form receives the events to display filename in appropriate listboxes
that works, but now i want more info to display in listview row

Ulrich gathers the data into a udt
'defined in public bas module
Public Type TFileData
Name As String
Size As Currency
Attributes As Long
CreationTime As Date
LastWriteTime As Date
LastAccessTime As Date
End Type

so i wanted to pass the whole udt in an event instead of just the filename
Event FirstFileNewerUDT(Firstname As String, INFO As TFileData)
!!!-can't do that - "Only public types in public objects can be used as arg
etc etc - error msg"

So i guess i'll just create a new little class to hold the elements and pass
the object instead of the udt???
or create the event to pass multiple args instead of just one object?

any thoughts on best practice?
thanks
mark

Can't you move the type into the class file?

I can never remember the limitations on classes and types until I come
accross them.
