VB to produce a record of all files in a directory
 

Is there script that will retrieve the file name of every file in a
network directory?

VB to produce a record of all files in a directory
 

Here is some code that will do what you need... The third argument is
optional to specify a file type ane the final argument is optional and
specifies whether you want to search subdirectories or not...

You have to reference the project to Microsoft Scripting Runtime (in the VBE
select Tools - References - Microsoft Scripting Runtime )

'Code starts here****
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text

Sub test()
Call ListFiles("C:\", Sheet1.Range("A2"), "xls", True)
End Sub

Public Sub ListFiles(ByVal strPath As String, _
ByVal rngDestination As Range, Optional ByVal strFileType As String = "*", _
Optional ByVal blnSubDirectories As Boolean = False)
'** Must reference Microsoft Scripting Runtime **
Dim objFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim objFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim objFile As Scripting.File
Dim strName As String

'Specify the file to look for...
strName = "*." & strFileType
Set objFSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)

For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
If objFile.Name Like strName Then
rngDestination.Value = objFile.Path
rngDestination.Offset(0, 1).Value = objFile.DateLastAccessed
Set rngDestination = rngDestination.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next 'objFile
Set objFile = Nothing

'Call recursive function
If blnSubDirectories = True Then _
DoTheSubFolders objFolder.SubFolders, rngDestination, strName

Set objFSO = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
End Sub


Function DoTheSubFolders(ByRef objFolders As Scripting.Folders, _
ByRef rng As Range, ByRef strTitle As String)
Dim scrFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim scrFile As Scripting.File
Dim lngCnt As Long

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
For Each scrFolder In objFolders
For Each scrFile In scrFolder.Files
If scrFile.Name Like strTitle Then
rng.Value = scrFile.Path
rng.Offset(0, 1).Value = scrFile.DateLastAccessed
Set rng = rng.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next 'scrFile

'If there are more sub folders then go back and run function again.
If scrFolder.SubFolders.Count 0 Then
DoTheSubFolders scrFolder.SubFolders, rng, strTitle
End If
ErrorHandler:
Next 'scrFolder

Set scrFile = Nothing
Set scrFolder = Nothing
End Function
