Cool, this looks like what I was trying to do, thanks for the help.

Teachers are wanting to copy a file(s) to students desktops when they login. We used to have an old program that did this, but we've moved away from it and I was trying to come up with something to do this for them again. My idea was for them to select the home directories from the students drive and then do something else that will copy those file(s) to the selected students, but I haven't come up with how the second half will work since I couldn't even get the first part to work. So I want the teachers to be able to select the home directories on one side of the program and the file(s) they want to copy on the other side and then store that information and run the second half of the program or store that information for another program to read when the students login that will check to see if there ID is in the file and then copy the file(s) associated with them. That is the basic idea, I just can't even get the first part to work. Thanks, Mike

So far this is what I have, and I can select one folder under Students, but I would like to select multiple folders and store them in a variable that I can read later. From what I can tell from the help file this isn't going to do that for me, but its all that I could come up with so far. $var = FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder(s).", "C:\Students" ) MsgBox(4096, "Test", ""& $var &"", 10) Any help would be appreciated, Mike
