If all you need is the top subdirectories, not all directories,
use


Dim FSO As Object
Dim Fldr As Object
Dim SubFldr As Object
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Range("A1")

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Fldr = FSO.getfolder("C:\")
For Each SubFldr In Fldr.subfolders
Rng.Value = SubFldr.Path
Set Rng = Rng(2, 1)
Next SubFldr

thanks for all who replied however, still not too clear what i
need to do (my
VB tad limited) I tried sample code provided by Ardus but get
Error
"user-defined type not defined" Ron's solution looks the
business but again
not too sure how I would adapt it for my need.
I just need to show all the sub folders (from "C\" ) associated
to each
first level directory. these folders may or may not contain any
files - I
should mention i am using xl2003.

many thanks

Sub Finddir()

entry.
Do While myname < "" ' Start the loop.
' Ignore the current directory and the encompassing
directory.
If myname < "." And myname < ".." Then
' Use bitwise comparison to make sure MyName is a
directory.

' it

a directory.
