Default Dir function resetting

I am trying to use the Dir function to loop through folders in specified
directories, and again to loop through the files in those folders, but my
second Dir is messing with the first one (€œRecFile = Dir€ in inner loop makes
€œFolder=Dir€ in outer loop no longer work).

I have tried putting the inner loop in it's own procedure and calling it
within the outer loop, to no avail. Any suggestions?



Dim FolderPath As String
Dim Folder As String
Dim RecFile As String

Public Sub Create_File_List()
Folder = Dir(FolderPath, vbDirectory)
Do While Folder < ""
If Folder < "." And Folder < ".." Then
If (GetAttr(FolderPath & Folder) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then

RecFile = Dir(FolderPath & Folder & "\*-pt.xls")

Do Until RecFile = ""

€˜insert some formulas, yadda yadda yadda

RecFile = Dir

Loop

End If
End If
Folder = Dir
Loop

End Sub
