Thank you very much. One fix and one problem for me with the deleting empty
folders.
In the first line, I got an error message "Cannot use parentheses when
calling a sub" in which I fixed from a MS article. I had to add Call to the
first line.
After adding that I'm getting error is that I'm getting an error "Object
required: 'fso' in which I'm having a hard time finding the cure.
Here is the code from the post:
DeleteEmptyFolders ("c:\temp", False)
sub DeleteEmptyFolders(sPath, bDeleteThisFolder)
set folder = fso.getfolder(sPath)
'recurse first...
'
for each fldr in folder.subfolders
DeleteEmptyFolders fldr.path,true
next
'if no files or folders then delete...
'
'bDeleteThisFolder is false for
'the root of the subtree, and true for
'sub-folders (unless you want to delete
'the entire subtree if it is empty).
'
if (folder.files.count = 0) and _
(folder.subfolders.count) = 0 and _
bDeleteThisFolder then
on error resume next
folder.delete
exit sub
end if
end sub
