   Good to know.  Alas, I have no idea how to create a "FolderItem" object from   
   a full path either (actually, even less than a FolderItem2). -|

   Alas, the line   
      
   > set oFolder = oFile.GetFolder   
      
   returns a "(null): The system cannot find the file specified." error.   
      
   ... which just might be a difference between Win7 and XP, the latter of   
   which I'm using.   
      
   I did check if the oFile object retuned sane data and both the "file" as   
   well as the "path" methods (properties?) returned th expected strings.   
      
   Thanks for the code though.  Its something of which you just know that all   
   of that works together that way.  No, really ! :-)
