i have a code (source of this code ww.allenbrowne.com/ser-59.html) that adds all files on a specified directory and on subdirectories to a table, but for some strange reason it's works only on the c: drive like this Call ListFilesToTable("c:\", , True) but if i do the same code on another drive like that: Call ListFilesToTable("d:\", , True) i get only the files on the main d: direcotry. why it that and how can i change it ?
this is the code (UG said... Pls Use Code tags)
this is the code (UG said... Pls Use Code tags)
Code:
Public Function ListFiles(strPath As String, Optional strFileSpec As String, _
Optional bIncludeSubfolders As Boolean, Optional lst As ListBox)
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: List the files in the path.
'Arguments: strPath = the path to search.
' strFileSpec = "*.*" unless you specify differently.
' bIncludeSubfolders: If True, returns results from subdirectories of strPath as well.
' lst: if you pass in a list box, items are added to it. If not, files are listed to immediate window.
' The list box must have its Row Source Type property set to Value List.
'Method: FilDir() adds items to a collection, calling itself recursively for subfolders.
Dim colDirList As New Collection
Dim varItem As Variant
Call FillDir(colDirList, strPath, strFileSpec, bIncludeSubfolders)
'Add the files to a list box if one was passed in. Otherwise list to the Immediate Window.
If lst Is Nothing Then
For Each varItem In colDirList
Debug.Print varItem
Next
Else
For Each varItem In colDirList
lst.AddItem varItem
Next
End If
Exit_Handler:
Exit Function
Err_Handler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_Handler
End Function

bIncludeSubfolders As Boolean)
'Build up a list of files, and then add add to this list, any additional folders
Dim strTemp As String
Dim colFolders As New Collection
Dim vFolderName As Variant
'Add the files to the folder.
strFolder = TrailingSlash(strFolder)
strTemp = Dir(strFolder & strFileSpec)
Do While strTemp <> vbNullString
colDirList.Add strFolder & strTemp
strTemp = Dir
Loop

colFolders.Add strTemp
End If
End If
strTemp = Dir
Loop
'Call function recursively for each subfolder.
For Each vFolderName In colFolders
Call FillDir(colDirList, strFolder & TrailingSlash(vFolderName), strFileSpec, True)
Next vFolderName
End If
End Function
Public Function TrailingSlash(varIn As Variant) As String

There must be a few still around. Lots of legacy systems still in use.
