I misunderstood what you said. I thought you had the knowledge to
write code in VBA language to do FTP, avoiding batch files, or to use VBScript
language to fatch files from network. My understanding is that VBScript can
accomplish a lot in networking. As I said before I don't understand a thing
about networking. I wish I could learn from you.

Boils everything down, the codings are all tediouse 0's and 1's. But I would
think, you would agree with me, that when you can write one line of code to get
things done, you don't write two lines. I am looking for ways to eliminate that
tediouse ".bat" procedure.

I am participting in this group to improve my skills, or if I can, help  peers. I
am extremely amzed by what you can accomplish by looking at your posting. Also
what you laid out for me is very clear and helpful. Thanks.

I don't undstand what you mean by "tomAYto", "tomAHto", would you
elaborate.
