Bob, i have code that does that and not as fancy, could you tell me where to put If Err.Number = 70 Then.....etc some folders of course are access denied and the code stops there however it would be nice if it didnt!

I would guess that you do it in the SelectFiles procedure, add an error handler, and just trap it in there.
