Hi
I found this cool macro on this group that makes a list of all files in
a folder. With each file name in a separate row. I would be very
grateful if any one can make suitable changes so that each row contains
a hyper link to the file.
TIA

Unni

Sub ListIndexFiles()
'Lists all file names in the folder on the active sheet
Dim FileName As String
Dim r As Integer

'Range("a2:a5").ClearContents

r = 2
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents"
.FileName = "*.doc"
If .Execute() 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
FileName = Mid(.FoundFiles(i), 18)
Cells(r, 1) = FileName
r = r + 1
Next i
End If
End With
End Sub

Opps!
also can it look in all sub-folders of "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\My Documents"

TIA

Unni

Hi
Thank you Norman, Thank you Bob.

I am at loss of words!!

While Norman's macro fits what I was trying to do achieve perfectly,
Bob your code just blew mw away!! (Not just me... my whole department).
Poor ignoramus like us had no clue excel could do things like this. In
short you have just instilled in all of us a new respect for excel and
Excel newsgroup.

Thanks again

Unni

Hi Unni,

I am sure I can speak for Norman as well when I say thank you for those kind
words. I am sitting here with a big grin on my face.

Hi Bob/Norman,
Thanks a lot for the macro. I was also looking for one like this. I
works great.

Can you please help me code anoher (may be seperately!) new macro whic
will delete the hyperlink as it is clicked by the user (while othe
hyperlinks remain in the sheet)?

Thanks a lot.

This will delete the hyperlink and clear the cell:

Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
Range(Target.Parent.Address).Value = ""
End Sub

or to delete the link but leave the hyperlink text in the cell:

Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
Target.delete
End Sub

This is worksheet event code. Right click the sheet, select View Code
and paste the code in there.

Hope this helps
