hi Bobby,

Is it possible to alter the hidden attribute of a folder and if so how?

Use the FileSystemObject to get a folder and change its attributes:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f1xtf7ta(VS.85).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5tx15443(VS.85).aspx

Either use late binding

Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

or early binding (set a reference to the MS Scripting runtime)

Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set fso = new Scripting.FileSystemObject

To hide the c:\temp folder:

SetAttr "c:\temp", vbHidden

and to unhide it:

SetAttr "c:\temp", vbNormal
