List files in directories and subdirectories

B

Barley Man

I have copied an example macro from a knowledge base article. It ALMOST does
the job I need but not quite.

It list all the files in a specific directory but I also need to list all
the files in that directory AND those in the subdirectories below it. (It
also need to include the full path address for anyfiles in subdirectories, it
already does thios for the main directory but I want to be sure it incldes
the full path for those 'below' it)

I thought I only need to add the line

" .SearchSubFolders = True"

....... but that doesn't do it.

Any advice how I modify the code below to give what I need?

Dim x As String, MyName As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim Response As Integer, TotalFiles As Integer

Folder:

' Prompt the user for the folder to list.
x = InputBox(Prompt:="What folder do you want to list?" & vbCr & vbCr _
& "For example: C:\My Documents", _
Default:=Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath))

If x = "" Or x = " " Then
If MsgBox("Either you did not type a folder name correctly" _
& vbCr & "or you clicked Cancel. Do you want to quit?" _
& vbCr & vbCr & _
"If you want to type a folder name, click No." & vbCr & _
"If you want to quit, click Yes.", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Exit Sub
Else
GoTo Folder
End If
End If

' Test if folder exists.

MsgBox "The folder does not exist. Please try again."
GoTo Folder

.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
' Change the .FileType to the type of files you are looking for;
' for example, the following line finds all files:
' .FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
' .FileType = msoFileTypeOfficeFiles
.LookIn = x
.Execute
TotalFiles = .FoundFiles.Count
If TotalFiles = 0 Then
MsgBox ("There are no files in the folder!" & _
"Please type another folder to list.")
GoTo Folder
End If
