VBA Code to populate a table with a list of FOLDERS in a specified drive
Hello Experts.
I have the code to populate a table with the files in a specified location but can't seem to get the FOLDER NAMES and store the results in a table.
Any help would be appreciated.

That's the code I use to get the filenames in a specified folder -- works great! I now want to get the folder names and can't get it to work...
ok.. in this part of the code
'Add the files to the folder.
strFolder = TrailingSlash(strFolder)
strTemp = Dir(strFolder & strFileSpec)
Do While strTemp <> vbNullString
gCount = gCount + 1
SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, gCount
strSQL = "INSERT INTO Files " _
& " (FName, FPath) " _
& " SELECT """ & strTemp & """" _
& ", """ & strFolder & """;"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
colDirList.Add strFolder & strTemp
strTemp = Dir
Loop
' strFolder is the string that holds the complete folder path
and the code is storing it in the field FPath..
'Add the files to the folder.
strFolder = TrailingSlash(strFolder)
strTemp = Dir(strFolder & strFileSpec)
Do While strTemp <> vbNullString
gCount = gCount + 1
SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, gCount
strSQL = "INSERT INTO Files " _
& " (FName, FPath) " _
& " SELECT """ & strTemp & """" _
& ", """ & strFolder & """;"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
colDirList.Add strFolder & strTemp
strTemp = Dir
Loop
' strFolder is the string that holds the complete folder path
and the code is storing it in the field FPath..

When I run the code it returns the path ONLY for files found in the folder.... what I want is to populate the table with all the folders within a specific folder or network path or whatever.
are you using the exact code i posted?
ASKER
I am. When I run it against a folder with 58 subfolders and 8 files I get 8 records in my table.
I get 8 records in my table with the folder path ? is this correct
and are you expecting to get all the 58 subfolders , 50 of which does not have file on them ?

Right -- I want to populate a table with the directory structure (folder names) basically.. they represent their client list as each folder is unique to their customers...
