    How to reference the filesystemobject


    Dear Gurus,

    I'm trying to replace my Dir, FileCopy and Kill statements with the FileSystemObject.
    HOWEVER, my VB6 doesn't seem to know about this.
    Anyone can tell me wich reference I use?

    When I type: Dim fso as Files.... it´s not autocompleted, know what I mean?

    Grzzz & thanx, Braniac.

    'early binding
    Dim oFileSystem As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
    'or late-bind with: ('Reference "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" (scrrun.dll) available at http://www.microsoft.com/scripting)
    Dim oFileSystem As Object
    Set oFileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    The FileSystemObject is in SCRRUN.DLL... you'll have to set a reference to this file (ie. Project-> References) look for "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" in the list. If it isn't there, use the browse button to locate it in the Windows\system directory.
