Hi

I've tried out Bob Phillip's clever code of creating a list of files within a main folder (and drilling down into all subfolders), pasted below

I am using this to create a list of files within a particular directory (say, N:\Main Dir) to identify files which have been out-of-date and may be archived for space

Unfortunately, I've run into folders that have 'Permission Denied' (Error # 70), tripping up the macro. How can I get the macro to skip to the next folder when it hits this error? I have tried a simple "On Error Resume Next", but it gives weird results (not all files listed, some file names missing etc)

Thanks a million for your help
