use-livecode Digest, Vol 155, Issue 15

[Peter Reid]

Thanks Mike and Richmond, I'll take a look at autoit as I don't want to get into VB unless I REALLY have to!

I was hoping that a short VBA script might do the job so I can use LC for the file/folder management, but autoit may be the solution anyway.
