Hi,
I am facing a problem, with getting refernce of a folder that has spaces in its path. Code is like this

for each foldr in test_fldr
     set fld = fso.getfolder(test_fldr.path & foldr.name)
      :
      :
      :
Next

The problem is that when foldr.name conatain spaces then code return error "Path Not Found". So is there anyway to solve it.
Please help

If you're looping through folders...why do you need to get the subfolder folder? What information do you need from it that you simply can't get for it within your for each...next loop?

Hi,
srry for giving u the partial scenario. Actually I need to compare two folders that are having same path but are in different drives. For e.g. let there are two dirves C: and D:, then I want to compare all the files and folder in both that are having same path(but differ only in drive letter). Now u may think thats a bit rubbish, but actually one of the drive is going to be snapshot( created using Vshadow) of other. So wat I actually wants to do is that loop thru folders of one drive and retrive the same folder that are in other drive. But the problem comes when I try to retrive the folder which is having sapces in its name. I get error "Path not Found". SO is ther way to overcome that.

Regards
Sagar R Trehan

Hi,
I found a strange thing. Initially when my program was giving me the error I thought that might be because of the spaces in the path, but I discovered that it is not true. Actually now what is happening is that, whenever I am trying to retrive the size of folder documents and settings, I get error. I think that might be because the size of doucments and setting is 16 GB. So now my question is that is there any upper limit to the size, which size property return in VBscript.
