Sub LoopFolders()

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

selectFiles "c:\MyTest"

Set oFSO = Nothing

End Sub


'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub selectFiles(sPath)
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim Folder As Object
Dim Files As Object
Dim file As Object
Dim fldr

Set Folder = oFSO.GetFolder(sPath)

For Each fldr In Folder.Subfolders
selectFiles fldr.Path
Next fldr

For Each file In Folder.Files
If file.Type = "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:=file.Path
End If
Next file

End Sub

Bob,

Thanks for your reply. However I have some problem with this row

Set Folder = oFSO.GetFolder(sPath)

I get the message -- run time error '424' : object required

Do you know why?

Sorry, I missed one vital line.

AT the very start, before the first sub, add

Dim oFSO As Object
