Randy - I just redid
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/fileapi/recursivefiles_minimal_multipleselective.htm,
which is the one I tried yesterday. Using "Start with Full Compile"
(thanks! I didn't know that was there!), I got an error in Form_Load on the
line Option1(0).Value = True. The error is "Wrong number of arguments or
invalid property assignment."

I think the error has something to do with not creating the option buttons
correctly - I have Option 1 and Option 2, instead of Option 1(0) and Option
1(1). You called for the creation of "two buttons in an option array", and
I don't know what that means, or what the difference between the array and
the "regular" buttons would be.

So it's just me and my learning curve that's making things not work - not
your code. Thanks for the boost - I'll get there some day. 8>)
