Bob, I did try your suggestions without any improvement, but I think I am now
getting somewhere at last!  I'll let you know which of your suggestions was the
vital one - I think mayne the "." instread of  "*.*" in BOTH instances and also
  done = findfirst( mypath, &fb, FA_DIREC );
in BOTH instances.  Previously I had only replaced the second occurance as the
first part seemd to work OK.  We live and learn (slowly)

Best wishes
