…………………… I tried this one
sPath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop"

It didn't work for me, because I had moved my desktop to another location.
Is there a way to find the 'actual' placement?.......................................

20   Rem 1) Workbooks Info.
30   Dim Wb As Workbook               ' Dim: For Object variabls: Address location to a "pointer". That has all the actual memory locations (addresses) of the various property values , and it holds all the instructions what / how to change them , should that be wanted later. That helped explain what occurs when passing an Object to a Call ed Fucntion or Sub Routine By Val ue. In such an occurance, VBA actually  passes a copy of the pointer.  So that has the effect of when you change things like properties on the local variable , then the changes are reflected in changes in the original object. (The copy pointer instructs how to change those values, at the actual address held in that pointer). That would normally be the sort of thing you would expect from passing by Ref erence.  But as that copy pointer "dies" after the called routine ends, then any changes to the Addresses of the Object Properties in the local variable will not be reflected in the original pointer. So you cannot actually change the pointer.)
40    Set Wb = ActiveWorkbook         ' Set: Fill or partially Fill: Setting to a Class will involve the use of an extra New at this code line. I will then have an Object referred to as an instance of a Class. At this point I include information on my Pointer Pigeon hole for a distinct distinguishable usage of an Object of the Class. For the case of something such as a Workbook this instancing has already been done, and in addition some values are filled in specific memory locations which are also held as part of the information in the Pigeon Hole Pointer. We will have a different Pointer for each instance. In most excel versions we already have a few instances of Worksheets. Such instances Objects can be further used., - For this a Dim to the class will be necessary, but the New must be omitted at Set. I can assign as many variables that I wish to the same existing instance

This Returns a new Range ( cell ) object which is that of the first Range ( cell ) with something in it "looking back up" in the XL spreadsheet from that last Cell. Then the .Row Property is applied to return a long number equal to the Row number of that cell:     Rows.Count is the very last row number in your Worksheet. It is different for earlier versions of Excel.  The End(xlUp) is the same as pressing a Ctrl+UpArrow key combination. The final ".Row" returns the row where the cursor stops after moving up.

That makes sense as Excel is all about using the offsets mentioned above. So like if you use them you can “cut out the middle man”. ( The middle man here might be considered as, for example, in VBA, using extra variables for different Range objects: A fundamental thing to do with any cell ( or strictly speaking the Range object associated to a cell ) is the Range Item Property of any range Object, through which you can “get at” any other Range object. http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=1154829&page=13&p=4563838&highlight=#post4563838 ( It is often quicker than using a separate variable for each Range object – probably as all the variable does is hold the offset , so you might as well use the offset in the first place.. )
290                                                                              ' Similarly Another thing you pick up along the way is that the cells ( or strictly speaking the Range objects associated with it ) can be organised into groups of cells which then are also called Range objects and are organised in their constituent parts exactly the same as for the single cell Range object. Once again this is all an indication of organising so that we get at information by sliding along a specific amount ( offset value). The Offset and Resize properties therefore return a new range object. I use the .Value 2 here as i seemed to get it for .Value anyway, not sure why yet, - so i thought be on the safe side , get it always and work somehow with that for now and convert as necerssary.   Also 1 breadth Arrays due to Alan Intercept theory are held in such a ways as to be very effient in usage of values within

Codes required for contribution to , and to be referenced from, this Thread: http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...lder-Using-VBA

Theses are

_ the main initial code , ( Sub ( ) ) , used in a two code solution "recursion type" solution for Looping through all Folders and Subfolders and Files , starting from an in initial Folder which is given in this code and passed to the second code,

_ a "recursion type" code. This code successively takes a Folder, looks into its subfolders, and then passes all the subfolders successively to "itself" and repeats the process of then looking into the Sub Folders, and then passes all the subfolders successively to "itself" and repeats the process of then looking into the Sub Folders, and then passes all the subfolders successively to "itself" and repeats the process of then looking into the Sub Folders, …. Etc…..

The codes are discussed in detail at that Thread , starting from this post:
