setting attribute-files with VBA for excel

How can I set a file-attribute with VBA for excel ? (eg Read-only)
Thanks in advance
Satch

you could use the FileSytemObject class..

like this:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
    Dim f As File
    
    Set f = fso.GetFile("C:\bob.txt")
    
    'Since all read-only files should have an attributes property that
    'is an odd no, this should work...
    If (f.Attributes And 1) = 0 Then f.Attributes = f.Attributes + 1
    
    Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

NOTE: You'll need to set a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Run-time for this to work
