| Hi, can anyone help? I need to read local file information (specifically the filename) on a box running SQL 7. I don't want to use the FileSystemObject in the ActiveXScript of a DTS package. I am also keen to avoid using xp_cmdshell. It does seem that you can use linkedservers to get the information but why do this for a local server? I can't get it to work in any case. For example, I would like to return info on file on the C Drive in the tabular style of a linkedserver search using a SCOPE of C: Any ideas please??? |

....only because I don't want the performance overhead and it is not as friendly to my general aim of incorporating the file info into a recordset |
