Hi everyone,

I am very very new to VBA and found code by Ken here: http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=232. It does a fantastic job of listing the files inside a folder but I was wondering if it would be possible to include files inside of a subfolder in the initially selected directory.


Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Something like this:

Code:
Sub HyperlinkFileList()
     'Macro purpose:  To create a hyperlinked list of all files in a user
     'specified directory, including file size and date last modified
     'NOTE:  The 'TextToDisplay' property (of the Hyperlink object) was added
     'in Excel 2000.  This code tests the Excel version and does not use the
     'Texttodisplay property if using XL 97.
     
    Dim fso As Object, _
    ShellApp As Object, _
    file As Object, _
    subfolder As Object, _
    Directory As String, _
    Problem As Boolean, _
    ExcelVer As Integer
     
     'Turn off screen flashing
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
     
     'Create objects to get a listing of all files in the directory
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     
     'Prompt user to select a directory
    Do
        Problem = False
        Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
        Browseforfolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, "c:\\")
         
        On Error Resume Next
         'Evaluate if directory is valid
        Directory = ShellApp.self.Path
        Set subfolder = fso.GetFolder(Directory).Files
        If Err.Number <> 0 Then
            If MsgBox("You did not choose a valid directory!" & vbCrLf & _
            "Would you like to try again?", vbYesNoCancel, _
            "Directory Required") <> vbYes Then Exit Sub
            Problem = True
        End If
        On Error GoTo 0
    Loop Until Problem = False
     
     'Set up the headers on the worksheet
    With ActiveSheet
        With .Range("A1")

Hi Ken,

That is fantastic! Thank you very much, I've added a few things to this to make it work but would not have been able to get it to work on my own.

Cheers,
