Like this?

Dim fso, folderobj, fldr
Const fsoReadonly As Long = 2

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folderobj = fso.GetFolder("c:\myTest")
For Each fldr In folderobj.subFolders
If Not fldr.Attributes And fsoReadonly Then
fldr.Delete
End If

Hi bob thanks
CAn i instead of a name say if folder is readonly then
dont delete.
i have try with
fso.deletefolder "c:\" & tt & tal & kur1 & "\*", False
its working with my files but not on folders
If the folders is emty it dele the folder if the folder have a file

with
readonly then
i get permission denied error
So the only thing i nead is if the folder is read only then dont

delete

You have to iterate through all the folders

Set FolderObj = fso.GetFolder("c:\" & tt & tal & kur1)
For each fldr in FolderObj.SubFolders
If fldr.name < "special" Then
fldr.delete
End If
Next fldr

I use this:
fso.deletefolder "c:\" & tt & tal & kur1 & "\*.*"

Befor the delefolder i have :

Set FolderObj = fso.GetFolder("c:\" & tt & tal & kur1) to see if

there
are
folders

Best regards alvin
