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()
MyPath = "c:\" ' Set the path.
myname = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory) ' Retrieve the first 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.
If (GetAttr(MyPath & myname) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then
Debug.Print myname ' Display entry only if it ' it
represents
a directory.
End If
End If
myname = Dir ' Get next entry.
Loop
End Sub
