When I try the code below, with the following line
Set TopFolder = FSO.GetFolder("C:\FolderName")
changed to
Set TopFolder = FSO.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings")
I get an error in the called Sub, the line:
Debug.Print OneFile.Name, OneFile.ParentFolder.Path,
OneFile.Path
The msg is "Invalid Use of Property"
and the Onefile.Path property is highlighted.
I've tried a couple of different folder names, so they aren't the problem.
Any idea?

Darren,
Here's some code to get you started. You'll need to go to the
Tools menu in VBA, choose References, and set a reference to the
Windows Scripting Runtime library.
Sub Start()
Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim TopFolder As Scripting.Folder
Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set TopFolder = FSO.GetFolder("C:\FolderName") '<< CHANGE
ProcessOneFolder FSO, TopFolder
End Sub
Sub ProcessOneFolder(FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject, _
F As Scripting.Folder)
Dim OneFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim OneFile As Scripting.File
For Each OneFolder In F.SubFolders
ProcessOneFolder FSO, OneFolder
Next OneFolder
For Each OneFile In F.Files
Debug.Print OneFile.Name, OneFile.ParentFolder.Path,
OneFile.Path
Next OneFile
End Sub

I'm using Excel 2000.
I have a big macro to create - I don't expect the group to do
all my work,
information on how to get started would be good for now.
My goal:
I have a directory ("C:\My Documents\Archive") which contains
multiple
subdirectories, each of which contains files to be renamed.
Some
subdirectories also have their own subfolders.
Those files whose name starts with the string "File" needs that
string
replaced with the folder name. If the file does not start with
the string
"File", the immediate folder name gets added to the start of
the folder
name.
The filelist will include non-Excel files.
I can do the string replacing bit, it's the creating a list of
folders and
their content files, and then getting the immediate folder and
using that to
rename the files that I have no idea about, and Google isn't
helping much :)
Thank in advance.
Darren
