    MS Method Return Codes

    Where do I find return codes for MS methods. For instance the
    filesystemobjec t methods. I need to know what methods return (error codes,
    etc. and what they mean). I have searched MSDN and of course find the
    method syntax documents but the return codes are not present. What a method
    returns should be documented in the syntax document.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

      Each method signature should show you the return type. Is there a
      specific method you had in mind?

      Besides, you should not use the FileSystemObjec t (in VB6 or VB.Net).
      It is slow, many system adminstrators remove the scripting runtime
      ..dll so it might not be available, and, for VB.Net, there are built in
      IO functions that work much better.

      For VB6, (this is a .Net group by the way), try the replacement library
      at KillerVB.com. It is much faster and has syntax similar to the
      FileSystemObjec t.

          thanks for reply.

          I am using vbscript in win2003. I found method syntax in mdsn but the it
          doesn't list return codes.

          The method is filesystemobjec t.getfolder and createfolder

          I just need to know where to find the info out since it isn't listed with
          method as it should be.

          Thanks.

              This is a dotnet group so you're not likely to find many answers here
              about vbscript.

              Off the top of my head, I believe these return a Folder object. You
              might look for those in the help.
