Building folder-list in Excel

S

Snoopy

Hey guys
You have kindly helped me before, and I dare to consult you again.
I want to make a Excel-list of all subfolders in folder - the path =
value in cell A1.
If there are no subfolders then a msgbox will appear "Folder dos'nt
exist".
Proberbly a simple VBA-trick - but I'm not that kind of
magician ...so..will you please help me again?
Best regards Snoopy

Hi Snoopy,

google search with the keywords "excel dirlist"
Hope that helps
