Hi Michael!, thanks for the reply.. Notice the CMD$ line.. using an external
program is what I would like to avoid. Although CHKDSK is a
common DOS utility that EVERYONE should have in thier path,
there are always exceptions to this. So I want to avoid
this if possible. I'm keeping your snippet of code though,
I'm sure I will be able to use it somewhere down the road.
