If you just want to create a file list by folder, try:
Code:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim StrFolder As String
' Browse for the starting folder
StrFolder = GetTopFolder
If StrFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
StrFolder = StrFolder & "\*.doc"
If UBound(Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").Exec("Cmd /c Dir """ & StrFolder & """ /B/S").StdOut.ReadAll, vbCrLf)) > 0 Then
ActiveDocument.Range.Text = CreateObject("wscript.shell").Exec("Cmd /c Dir """ & StrFolder & """ /B/S").StdOut.ReadAll
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function GetTopFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetTopFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetTopFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
As coded, the above macro finds all Word documents in the chosen folder and its subfolders. For other file types, simply change the '.doc' reference (e.g. '.xls' for all Excel workbooks, '.pdf' for all PDFs).
