Don't use getFolderitem along with volume.child()
volume is a folderitem, and the method .child returns a folderitem.
getFolderitem is for converting string paths into folderitems.
So, just use f=volume(i).child("SFDev409")

but couldn't get this to work even on a Mac, f was always nil.
There are probably Windows routines that can find the CD for you, but
in the
meantime, try using volume(i).child("SFDev409").

Thanks George but when I replace
f=getfolderitem(volume(i).name).child("SFDev409")
with
f=getfolderitem(volume(i)).child("SFDev409")
I get a type mismatch error
Have I got the syntax correct?. It is getting late here in Australia
and I'm
getting tired.
