I want to get hold of a particular file which is a member of a files
colleciton of a given folder .

IN the following code ,  i'm  in trouble on the line  :
Set fil = files(lngC)

Why don't this work  ??

Thanks
Chris

Sub EraseFirstCharsFromFileNames()

Dim fldr As Folder
Dim files As files
Dim fil As File
Dim lngFileCount As Long
Dim lngC As Long

Set fldr = mfso.GetFolder("F:\000  Samples\String Textures   Time&Space
Creative EssentialsSeries\03  Cello Tremolando")

lngFileCount = fldr.files.Count

For lngC = 1 To lngFileCount

Set files = fldr.files
Set fil = files(lngC)

'  mess with the file name here

Next

Set mfso = Nothing

End Sub
