Is there an easy way of getting the list of files in a

Try an modify this to suit

Sub GetFileList2222()
Dim iCtr As Integer

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "c:\aa"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = ".xls"
If .Execute > 0 Then
For iCtr = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Cells(iCtr, 1).Value = .FoundFiles(iCtr)
Next iCtr
End If
End With
End Sub

Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best.

To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
this KB Article.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q272623&

Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features.

OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
Type DIR >MYFILES.TXT

All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Excel.

One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull directly to
Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering and
sorting once you have the data in Excel.

http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-ins>Directory Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.
