Reusing FileSystemObject Object

[Sean S - Perth, WA]

Hi all,

If I create a FileSystemObject Object is it appropriate to reuse it to
perform operations on different files/folders?

Or should I create a new FileSystemObject Object for each file and folder?

Sure. Try it.

Yes, absolutely.

In fact, I took it as far as creating a function that returns me an
instantiated FileSystemObject, rather than creating it myself in all
the odd little functions I might want to use it, as in

Dim g_oFSO ' as FileSystemObject
Set g_oFSO = Nothing

Function FSO() ' as FileSystemObject
If g_oFSO Is Nothing Then
Set g_oFSO = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
End If
Set FSO = g_oFSO
End If

HTH,
