problem on a code to add list of files on a table in access 2013
hi
i have a code that adds all files on a specified directory and the subdirectories to a table, but for some strange reason the code i's working only on c: drive like this:
Call ListFilesToTable("c:\", , True)
on another drive like this:
Call ListFilesToTable("d:\", , True)
i get only the files on the main d: direcotry and not on the subdirectories. why it that ? and how can i change it ?
this is the code
thanks a lot

Accidentally ask about another code that named listfilestotable, but you resolved the issue that i asked so you deserve the points (:
