I have a third party program that runs several scheduled batch routines every night. Each type of batch routine creates a folder in the C:\Temp directory. Inside the folders are error reports that are txt files. I am writing a program that will also be run as a scheduled routine, but it will look for the most recent set of folders (tg*, ar*, mdb* are the folder strings) and read the txt files looking for certain strings. If the strings exist it will write the string out to a separate file and that file will contain a listing of all errors for all scheduled batch routines. That file will in turn either be emailed to myself or I will have a shortcut to it on my desktop so I can open it first thing in the morning to find out if any of the routines had errors.
Now that I have thoroughly confused everyone, I need to know how to search for a folder with the above string by date. I have the following code which I thought would do it but I keep getting a SecurityExcepti on error and I don’t know how to get around it. -
Dim dteDate As Date
-
Dim strFldr as String
-
-
'Hard code directory just for example
-
strFldr = c:\temp\ar123456
-
-
'Set date to yesterdays date.
-
dteDate = Today().AddDays(-1)
-
-
Dim dDir As New DirectoryInfo(fldTemp)
-
MsgBox("Last access time was " & dDir.LastAccessTime)
8  1571 
Is this the actual code, or did you just type an approximation here? Because it looks to me as though line 5 wouldn't even compile (needs quotes).
And which line produces the error?

In retyping I misssed the quotes. And I get the Security Exception error at line 10, the Dim statement.
My guess is the fldTemp in line 10 should be strFldr.
Beyond that, I think we'll need some input from someone who actually uses a later version than VB6.

This is why we prefer copy and paste where possible. :) We often end up chasing a problem that actually doesn't exist in the code.

Thanks for the tip.
And as to the name of the variable, you were correct, however i still get the same error after fixing that. Im stuck.
Are the files located in a security tight area??...
Can you say do you using VB6 or 5 Or VB.net. I got a specaly code for you. I have made same program but I use for conttrol the OS "C:\WINDOWS\Sys tem32
*VACE*
Thanks for the tip.

Can you show us the actual code? So far I think we've fixed two problems that were in it.

To represent directories and subidrectories, is it advisable to nest the

When more than one keyword is typed into a search-query, most of the

Hi!
I wonder, which way to do this fastest.
I have a disk, where I need to search for a file or directory.
I do it recursively, meaning that I start from the top dir, then I add
all directories to an array, and by a counter I work my way through
that array.
And, while doing that I add the directory or file (name) to and result
