This code works in early binding:

Code:
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSysemObject
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject

Dim MyFolder As Folder
Set MyFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\MyData")

Dim Num As Integer

Num = MyFolder.Files.Count

To change to late binding, how do I declare MyFolder?

For example:

Code:
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim MyFolder As Folder ' FAILS HERE

Thanks

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
