Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best if importing
to Excel.

To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
this KB Article.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;q272623&

Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom
features.

OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
Type DIR MYFILES.TXT

All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Notepad or
Excel.

One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull
directly to Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows
filtering and sorting once you have the data in Excel.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

Note the installation instructions near bottom of page.

Is there a way I can collect multiple file names from within a folder and get
them to display within a excel. If it involves using a macro I haven't been
successful in getting one working yet.

For example if I had music file names and wanted them to display in cells of
the spreadsheet.
