Greetings !

I have over 50,000 *.CHK files in seven FOUND.00n folders.

These represent the entire contents of my "My Pictures" Folder.

Most of them have been backed up.

So I wish to run through the first 64 characters of each of my
backed-up files, and compare them inturn with the first 64
characters of those .CHK files.

If I get a match, then I propose to compare the entire content
of the .CHK file with the equivalent length of the backed-up file.

If I get a match on this, then I am happy to assume that I have
that file backed up, and can then delete the .CHK file.


Now my question!

Would it be "better" to load those 64 characters from the .CHK files
into separate rows in the spreadsheet,
or to load them directly into an array in VBA ?

If the former (into Cells), then I would also save
into the same Row the file name, size and path,
to enable me to operate on those files.
