Replacing the FileSearch Property

[dunc723]

My current project is to compare the contents of two folders (FolderA and FolderB), which have multiple levels of subfolders; if there is an exact duplicate file (FolderA\SubA\Sub1\File1.ext and FolderB\SubA\Sub1\File1.ext with the same modified time), flag it in a table (or perhaps take other actions).



I used to use Application.FileSearch to get a listing of files, including the full path and filename, and put them into a recordset. It would optionally search all subfolders. How to do that in Access 2010 without FileSearch? I've researched the Dir function, but a quick trial showed it does not search subfolders - it appears you have to keep drilling down by searching for folders and building path strings. Is there any other function or procedure?

Thanks for any advice!
