Never mind.... I figured it out-- about two minutes after I clicked post.
Again, thank you for all your help.

I have another question for you....
I went in to the ExcelTips page you gave me, and have made some
modifications to Joe's macro.
I've set it up so that I could only choose specific attributes/properties of
the file, for the two directories.
Which means that I had to essentially duplicate the ListFilesInFolder code,
but make it input the values one column to the right of the source column. I
have yet to further study your sample, so that's what I could be missing.
Please see my question down below the code....

Workbooks.Add ' create a new workbook for the file list

End With
range("A3:b3").Formula = "File Name:"
range("c3:d3").Formula = "File Size:"
range("e3:f3").Formula = "Date Created:"
range("g3:h3").Formula = "Date Last Modified:"

range("A3:H3").Font.Bold = True
ListFilesInFolder "N:\Steve'sTemp\New", True

As you can see, it will input the second directory's file names in the
column to the right of the first.
However, instead of placing them adjacent, it takes in to account the
already counted r, and sets the second set down the number of rows, for the
number of files.
I set a watch, and the second, ListFilesOnFolder, starts counting at the
bottom of the range selected by r.


i.e., r = range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1

How would I set this to start at the same row, as did the ListFilesInFolder
began?

Beyond that, this is working as needed (that is until we find yet another
use which would require further modifications-- but that's another day ....
;-) ).

Again, thank you.
Best.
