I'm in need of VBA code that will list in an Excel sheet the filenames of all
documents of a specific folder. Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks,

This will do that, it stores them in an array then writes it to sheet1

Function GetFileNames()

Dim MyName, MyPath
Dim FNames()

'Find how many file exist

ReDim FNames(0)

MyPath = "C:\" 'You need to change this to your requirement
MyName = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory)
Do While MyName < ""

If MyName < "." And MyName < ".." Then

On Error Resume Next
If (GetAttr(MyPath & MyName) And vbDirectory) < vbDirectory Then
ReDim Preserve FNames(UBound(FNames) + 1)
FNames(UBound(FNames)) = MyPath & MyName
End If

End If

MyName = Dir

Loop

For x = 1 To UBound(FNames)
Sheet1.Cells(x, 1) = FNames(x)
Next x

End Function

This will put a list of files in column G. Change MYPATH to the path for
the folder you want to look at, ending with a backslash \ Hope this
helps, James

Const MYPATH = "c:\MyFiles\"

Sub ListFiles()
Dim PutRow As Long, fName As String
PutRow = 1
Columns("g").Clear
fName = Dir(MYPATH & "*.*")
Cells(PutRow, "g") = fName
PutRow = PutRow + 1
Do
fName = Dir
Cells(PutRow, "g") = fName
PutRow = PutRow + 1
Loop Until fName = ""
End Sub

I use this routine

Sub Searchfolder()

Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
.LookIn = "C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents" 'Your path here
.Filename = "*"
.Searchsubfolders = False
If .Execute(SortBy:=msoSortByFileName, _
SortOrder:=msoSortOrderAscending) 0 Then
MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & _
" file(s) found."

For I = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
'Truncate to File Name
flstring = .FoundFiles(I)
namelen = InStrRev(flstring, "\")
flstring = Right(flstring, Len(flstring) - namelen)
'Output to sheet
ActiveCell = flstring
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next I
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With

End Sub

You can use my DirTree add-in that will list the subfolders and files of a
specified folder, with many display options. See

Is it possible to access the indvidual file attributes that I can view
in different columns within Windows 'Exploder' (ie: Attributes, Owner,
Author, Title, Artist, etc)? And if so, are there any VBA examples
out there I could look at? Thanks. -pb

I suggest downloading Tushar's Directory Listing add-in from

http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-insDirectory
Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

Is it possible to get a list of the entire folder contents, including other
folders that may exist? This code works perfectly to list all files outside
of folders within the desired destination.

Thanks!

Change it like this to get files plus subdirectories.

fName = Dir(MYPATH, vbDirectory)

This doesn't show the files within the subdirectories, but you can do add
the subdirectories to the path one at a time, then do Dir to get those
files. HTH, James
