Can someone please show me how I can write a script to list all files
in a particular folder.

Example:

C:\Rosters\Nov 2004\

AAA.xls
BBB.doc
CCC.csv


I would like to have a list of the files on column A of a Excel
Spreadsheet...with Modified Date to. The number of files in the
folder will be dynamic

Thanks in advance!

there is a recent long thread on something along the lines
of your question, but you might want to check

This posting by Jan Karel Pieterse, that manages to create a
directory list (one level) without a macro.

For a more conventional approach with a macro:

Sub test()
Const cDir = "C:\Rosters\Nov 2004\"
Dim str As String

str = Dir(cDir)
Do Until str = ""
Debug.Print str, FileDateTime(cDir & str)
str = Dir
Loop
End Sub
