It would be nice if you said up-front what it is you want to do. I don't especially enjoy re-writing code because the requirements weren't properly thought through at the outset. This is the second time you've made such a change.

Before your 'UpdateDocuments' sub, insert:

Code:

Dim FSO As Object, oFolder As Object, StrFolds As String
 
Sub Main()
Dim TopLevelFolder As String, TheFolders As Variant, aFolder As Variant, i As Long
TopLevelFolder = GetFolder
StrFolds = vbCr & TopLevelFolder
If TopLevelFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
If FSO Is Nothing Then
  Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
End If
'Get the sub-folder structure
Set TheFolders = FSO.GetFolder(TopLevelFolder).SubFolders
For Each aFolder In TheFolders
  RecurseWriteFolderName (aFolder)
Next
'Process the documents in each folder
For i = 1 To UBound(Split(StrFolds, vbCr))
  Call UpdateDocuments(CStr(Split(StrFolds, vbCr)(i)))
Next
End Sub
 
 
Sub RecurseWriteFolderName(aFolder)
Dim SubFolders As Variant, SubFolder As Variant
Set SubFolders = FSO.GetFolder(aFolder).SubFolders
StrFolds = StrFolds & vbCr & CStr(aFolder)
On Error Resume Next
For Each SubFolder In SubFolders
  RecurseWriteFolderName (SubFolder)
Next
End Sub

Change your 'UpdateDocuments' sub's name from:
Sub UpdateDocuments()
to:
Sub UpdateDocuments(oFolder As String)
and change its lines:
strInFolder = GetFolder
If strInFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
to:
strInFolder = oFolder

With the above changes, you now run the 'Main' sub.
