Hi

below are a couple od UDF's, combining which you can get the list of files
in any folder or subfolder. The optional parameter MyTime is used to make
formula recalculate {use TODAY() or NOW() as optional parameter}


Public Function GetSubfolder(MyFolder As String, FolderNum As Integer,
Optional MyTime As Date)
Dim fs, f, f1, s, sf
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(MyFolder)
Set sf = f.SubFolders
i = 0
For Each f1 In sf
i = i + 1
If i = FolderNum Then GetSubfolder = f1.Name
Next
End Function


Public Function GetFileName(MyFolder As String, FileNum As Integer,
MyExtension As String, Optional MyTime As Date)
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(MyFolder)
Set fc = f.Files
i = 0
For Each f1 In fc
If Right(f1.Name, 3) = MyExtension Then
i = i + 1
If i = FileNum Then GetFileName = f1.Name
End If
Next
End Function


Public Function GetThisFolder(Optional MyTime As Date)
GetThisFolder = ThisWorkbook.Path
End Function
