Wink Help with VB code to monitor a folder size

Does anybody know how I can monitor the size of a folder, so that when it reaches a particular memory size, a message can appear to alert the user. I think I need to set-up a variable that can be linked to the size of the folder, then possibly a case statement with various messages.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I believe the Filesystem Object can return the size of a folder. I tried to look in the documentation but the msdn library doesn't seem to work for me at the moment.

Quick Example:

Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder as Object
Dim i As Long

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Program Files")
i = objFolder.Size

Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing

This will return the size of the folder in bytes. Ta daaa!
