Hi,

i am having trouble with this one. i'll try to explain the best i
can.
I have a folder named 'homogeneity testing'. there are hundereds of
subfolders
in that folder, for instance, 400501, 400502, 400503....and so on.
But, there are several subfolders in these as well. In each first
subfolder, say folder 400501, there is a *lkg_5.xls file i need to
extract from. i don't want to go
any further than this first subfolder as there are more *lkg_5.xls
files in the deeper subfolders.
Basically, i want my macro to LookIn C:\homogneity testing\ then
look in the
next subfolder, '400501' for the *lkg_5.xls file and perform the
functions i have set out. then, when done with that file, close and
move on to next subfolder, '400502', while skipping the subfolders
under '400501'.

i think, Maybe, i need a Loop to search only ONE subfolder under
'homogeneity testing' then move on to next dirct subfolder.
But........i can't seem to
figure out anything that specific. i can only write code to search
all subfolders.

Anyway, sorry this is so long and still not very informative.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

take care
Live Long and Prosper!

SF,

Use an outer loop (and set the SearchSubFolders to false, along the lines
of

Dim i As Integer

For i = 501 to 999
...
..Lookin = "homogeneity testing\400" & i
.....
.....
Next i
