Just to restate. I copied the code from YOUR email. Cleaned up any wordwrap
problems and Changed the argument to a valid directory for my computer and
ran it. It worked fine for me.

So I can't say what your problem might be.

Tom,

Not sure what's going on here.....I opened a clean wb and inserted the code
as I posted into a module with sheet1 being the active sheet. Now I'm
getting an error.

"Ambiguous name detected: fDir"

The line "fDir = FSO............." highlighted in red.

ooops....forgot to post the code....here it is:

Sub Finddir()

Dim FSO As Object
Dim fDir As Object
Dim fSubDir As Object

Dim i As Long

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fDir = FSO.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\Brner\My Documents\My
Music\CDG Zips")
For Each fSubDir In fDir.SubFolders
i = i + 1
Cells(i, "A").Value = fSubDir.Name
Next fSubDir

End Sub

Tom,

Must be something I'm not understanding here....and that's not
unusual....here's what I tried but it didn't do a thing, didn't give me a
list or even an error msg. Can you please tell me what I've done wrong here?

As I indicated above in this thread, Jim's add-in worked fine and gave me
what I wanted but I'd sure like to understand your code also. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gang,

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not but here goes....I would like
to create a list of sub-folder names in either xcel or Word. I don't need to
have the contents of the folders shown, only the names of same. All these
sub-folders are in a seperate main folder on my C: drive. There are over 500
sub-folders involved.

If I'm in the wrong place, please advise where I might post this....TIA

Don
