Default Dir function resetting

Yes, I only need to go one level deep within each of the directories - each
of the 5 directories has 12 folders within it (for months of the year), and I
would only need the files within there. There should not be any folders
within the monthly folders, just files.

You could use your current procedure to go 1 level of folders deep. Is that
what you want or do you want to examine all folders below the specified
folder, no matter the depth?

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 ("RecFile = Dir" in inner loop

makes
"Folder=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
