No, I don't. I do the OO in more appropriate environments. But even the site you refer to has something good to say about FSO: "it does share some of the good qualities of the Scripting Runtime's FileSystemObject".

The FSO may have a decent interface but the implementation makes it less-than-desirable in VB application. -- Reply to the group so all can participate VB.Net: "Fool me once..." FSO is slower than VB6's File I/O statements as others suggested. The only
place where FSO might be useful is in VBScript as it doesn't support VB6's File I/O statements. There was a page in MSDN explaining the differences, but I can't find it now. The one below shows the difference between VBA and VBScript: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vtoriFeatureInformation.asp Show quoteHide quote "Elmo Watson" <sputnik@nospam.yahoo.com> wrote in message news:O05Yvj01FHA.3188@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > Apparently I have a problem on my computer - every time one of my apps has > this line: > CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") > > the app crashes - - > > What can I reinstall to get this working correctly? > >
