Import file names into cells
Hi everyone, I need to take file names from directories on my hard dirve and import the file name into a cell. I don't want to type all the file names into each cell. Also if I add a file to the directory I would like it to update the excel sheet and put the file in the correct place. If the second part is hard to understand, forget about it, I really need the first part of this question.

Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best. To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to this KB Article. http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;q272623& Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from..... http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/ I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features. OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory. Type DIR MYFILES.TXT All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Excel. One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull directly to Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering and sorting once you have the data in Excel. http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-insDirectory Listing. Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder. As to the second part of mission........the updating part......I think you would just have to re-import all filenames again from the folder.
