Default Can you paste file *NAMES* into Excel to form a database of them?

Question for very advanced users/VBA Programmers
I have a CD full of engineering drawings which are stored each in a separate
graphic file and titled each by the name/ID of each drawing.
I need to develop a database to compare which drawings I have in electronic
form and which are on hard copy.
Is it possible somehow to do something - I guess in in VBA - to have Excel
automatically run through the list of all these electronically stored
drawings, copy the name of each of these files, and paste this name into a
database or a list?
Would much appreciate any help on thism, or even an indication of whether
this is possible to accomplish in any MS program.
