Hi All-
I have a script that as part of one of its validation routines needs to
verify that a specific folder has no files in it. The problem is the folder
can and will likely contain subfolders within it. (which is expected and
okay) If the routine detects files at the root if the specific folder I halt
any further processing.

I've tried a variety of ways using WMI queries for resultclass CIM_DataFile
and FileSystemObject to achieve my desired result and so far have been
unsuccessful in solving my little problem. This is running on a Windows 2003
R2 Standard Server environment.

Thanks in advanced for any assistance offered.

You could use this code:
sFolder = "d:\Test"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFiles = oFSO.GetFolder(sFolder).Files
WScript.Echo "File count = " & oFiles.count

Thanks...so simple I clearly overlooked/overthought it.
