Use Akua Sweet's "the entries in" command, using a depth of -1 (all subfolders) and "as alias" to get what you want...
Example using Akua Sweets to do a search of subdirectories:
set matchingFileList to the entries in thisFolderAlias whose kinds are a file to a depth of -1 as alias
Nice and easy... I do a lot of file manipulation/management from FileMaker and there are some occassional hitches but there's always a workaround.
