Default Dynamic file location macro

Hello;

I posted this in programming, but realize that it was in a relatively old
post so I am reposting. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Gary's Student posted the following macro for reading file names from a
folder.

-------------------------------------

Sub list_um()
Dim F As String
Dim roww As Long
roww = 0
Dim FileLocSpec As String
FileLocSpec = "C:\Temp\*.*"
F = Dir(FileLocSpec)
Do Until F = ""
roww = roww + 1
Cells(roww, 1).Value = F
F = Dir
Loop
End Sub

----------------------------------------------

We print alot of individual CAD drawings and it has been useful in knowing
what prints are completed.

I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to make this more dynamic. I
print to a single folder and move the pdf's to the appropriate job folder.

I would like to paste the path to the job folder I am currently working on
into a cell and have the macro look to the cell to find the folder. Or even
better, some sort of concatenation in the cell based on a selection menu. The
job folders are very consistent (5 digit number, space, open parin, job name,
close parin) with the job name being the only variable data. I can choose
that from a drop down list as the path is always

C:\Documents and Settings\Frank Pytel\My Documents\Jobs\*

* being the actual job folder. I can easily creat a list of these within a
named range.

Am I rambling. Is there any body out there? I really appreciate any help
that you may be able and willing to offer. Thanks in advance.

Have a Blessed Day.
