Run a macro on multiple docx. files

[terenceyip]

Hello there. A complete novice at coding, I tried to adapt the code created by macropod in https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...ocx-files.html for my own purpose, but could not get it to work. Would there be anyone who could take a look and tell me what is wrong? Many thanks.

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 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
