Dir function resetting
I am trying to use the Dir function to loop through folders in specified
directories, and again to loop through the files in those folders, but my second Dir is messing with the first one (€œRecFile = Dir€ in inner loop makes €œFolder=Dir€ in outer loop no longer work). I have tried putting the inner loop in it's own procedure and calling it within the outer loop, to no avail. Any suggestions? Dim FolderPath As String Dim Folder As String Dim RecFile As String Public Sub Create_File_List() Folder = Dir(FolderPath, vbDirectory) Do While Folder < "" If Folder < "." And Folder < ".." Then If (GetAttr(FolderPath & Folder) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then RecFile = Dir(FolderPath & Folder & "\*-pt.xls") Do Until RecFile = "" €˜insert some formulas, yadda yadda yadda RecFile = Dir Loop End If End If Folder = Dir Loop End Sub |

Dir function resetting
You could use your current procedure to go 1 level of folders deep. Is that
what you want or do you want to examine all folders below the specified folder, no matter the depth? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Emily Edgington" wrote in message ...

See this article for multiple methods. 2nd method is using DIR

Dir function resetting
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't I have to specify each of the
folder names? I have sixty of them (12 each in 5 directories), and don't want to list them all in the code, if possible.

Dir function resetting
Yes, I only need to go one level deep within each of the directories - each
of the 5 directories has 12 folders within it (for months of the year), and I would only need the files within there. There should not be any folders within the monthly folders, just files.
