Hi. Can someone put me to a macro that will list the
files in a given directory? I know I have seen this post

Hi Mike

Try this for the folder C:\Data
Run it with a empty sheet active

Sub test2()
Dim i As Long
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.MatchTextExactly = False
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
'If .Execute(msoSortByFileName) 0 Then
If .Execute(msoSortOrderDescending) 0 Then
MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & " file(s) found."
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Cells(i, 1).Value = .FoundFiles(i)
Cells(i, 2).Value = FileDateTime(.FoundFiles(i))
Cells(i, 3).Value = FileLen(.FoundFiles(i))
Next i
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
End Sub
