   //get the folder by giving its path
   f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
   fc = f.files;
   s = fc.Item(filespec);
   return(s);
}

Function ShowFolderList(folderspec, filespec)
   Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   'get the folder by giving its path
   Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
   Set fc = f.Files
   Set s = fc.Item(filespec)
