Darren,

Yes, the correct library is "Microsoft Scripting Runtime". Sorry
about that.

That was quick :)

I don't appear to have a "Windows Scripting Runtime" in the
list, but I do
have a "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" - is that the one?

Darren,

Here's some code to get you started. You'll need to go to
the
Tools menu in VBA, choose References, and set a reference to
the
Windows Scripting Runtime library.

Sub Start()

Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim TopFolder As Scripting.Folder

Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set TopFolder = FSO.GetFolder("C:\FolderName") '<< CHANGE
ProcessOneFolder FSO, TopFolder

End Sub

Sub ProcessOneFolder(FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject, _
F As Scripting.Folder)

Dim OneFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim OneFile As Scripting.File

For Each OneFolder In F.SubFolders
ProcessOneFolder FSO, OneFolder
Next OneFolder
For Each OneFile In F.Files
Debug.Print OneFile.Name, OneFile.ParentFolder.Path,
OneFile.Path
Next OneFile

End Sub

I'm using Excel 2000.
I have a big macro to create - I don't expect the group to
do
all my work,
information on how to get started would be good for now.

My goal:
I have a directory ("C:\My Documents\Archive") which
contains
multiple
subdirectories, each of which contains files to be renamed.
Some
subdirectories also have their own subfolders.
Those files whose name starts with the string "File" needs
that
string
replaced with the folder name. If the file does not start
with
the string
"File", the immediate folder name gets added to the start
of
the folder
name.
The filelist will include non-Excel files.

I can do the string replacing bit, it's the creating a list
of
folders and
their content files, and then getting the immediate folder
and
using that to
rename the files that I have no idea about, and Google
isn't
helping much :)

Thank in advance.

Darren
