pull links for all files in folder AND subfolder

Hi Try below:

Sub Hyperlinkpuller()
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim i As Integer

'Create an instance of the FileSystemObject
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Get the folder object
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("c:\users\")
i = 1

'loops through each file in the directory
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
    
    'select cell
    Range(Cells(i + 1, 1), Cells(i + 1, 1)).Select
    
    'create hyperlink in selected cell
    ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:= _
        objFile.Path, _
        TextToDisplay:=objFile.Path &  "\"
    i = i + 1
Next objFile
End Sub

Select all Open in new window

Another approach would be:

Option Compare Text
Option Explicit
 
Function Excludes(Ext As String) As Boolean
     'Function purpose:  To exclude listed file extensions from hyperlink listing
     
    Dim X, NumPos As Long
     
     'Enter/adjust file extensions to EXCLUDE from listing here:
    X = Array("exe", "bat", "dll", "zip")
     
    On Error Resume Next
    NumPos = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Ext, X, 0)
    If NumPos > 0 Then Excludes = True
    On Error GoTo 0
     
End Function
 
Sub HyperlinkFileList()
     'Macro purpose:  To create a hyperlinked list of all files in a user
     'specified directory, including file size and date last modified
     'NOTE:  The 'TextToDisplay' property (of the Hyperlink object) was added
     'in Excel 2000.  This code tests the Excel version and does not use the
     'Texttodisplay property if using XL 97.

There is nothing in the code that stops before gathering all files.  I ran a test here and got over 2600 rows, all the files in the tree I started it from.  Perhaps you are hitting files you don't have access to?

Not sure I understand the rest of your question, I would think you would want to clear the whole column A before starting, but since that wasn't in your original code i didn't add it - "it's left to the student"...
