Creating Links to files in a shared directory
I have a large number of files on a shared directory that I need to be able to easilly obtain a list of and to insert links to. These files are regularly updated and can have new ones added and deleted. Ideally I would like to be able to do the following things: 1) Automatically output a list of the excel files within the directory, including those within subfolders into excel. 2) If 1 is achievable would it then be possible to automatically create links to the data within these spreadsheets that I need to extract. I do hope somebody can assist.

Creating Links to files in a shared directory
Ron, Thank you for your response. Example 1 is the closest to what I am looking for. However, we have over 450 spreadsheets that need to be linked to - this number does vary from week to week, both up and down. Would there be a way to create a macro that looks for all excel files within a folder, and it's subfolders, and create the links? Thanks again Paul Grewer -- grewpp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grewpp's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31005 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=508848 |

Paul,
My free Excel add-in "List Files" may do what you want. You can download it here... http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware Jim Cone San Francisco, USA "grewpp" wrote in message...

Creating Links to files in a shared directory
Hi grewpp
You can use Ctrl A to select all files in the GetOpenFilename dialog but I will add a example this week to my site if I have time. You can see the code in this example that you can add to the macro if you want to use a whole folder http://www.rondebruin.nl/ado.htm#folder -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ... hi grewpp Try this example http://www.rondebruin.nl/summary2.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "grewpp" wrote in message ...
