Hi there,

Moshe contacted me at my own site, asking the following question:


{regarding KB Entry} Create Hyperlinked List of Directory Contents which i found in vbaexpress.com
my question:
how do i add a column specifing the date by which each document in a folder was created thanks

Moshe, I tried to respond via email, but it bounced back as "user unknown", and I couldn't find you in our database here either. Hopefully you browse by here so that you can get the answer!

To answer your question, the following replacement for the HyperlinkFileList routine will return you the extra column with the date the file was created.


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.
Dim fso As Object, _
ShellApp As Object, _
File As Object, _
SubFolder As Object, _
Directory As String, _
Problem As Boolean, _
ExcelVer As Integer
'Turn off screen flashing
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Create objects to get a listing of all files in the directory
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Prompt user to select a directory
Do
Problem = False
Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
Browseforfolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, "c:\\")
On Error Resume Next
'Evaluate if directory is valid
Directory = ShellApp.self.Path
Set SubFolder = fso.GetFolder(Directory).Files
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
If MsgBox("You did not choose a valid directory!" & vbCrLf & _
"Would you like to try again?", vbYesNoCancel, _
"Directory Required") <> vbYes Then Exit Sub
Problem = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Loop Until Problem = False
'Set up the headers on the worksheet
With ActiveSheet
With .Range("A1")
.Value = "Listing of all files in:"
.ColumnWidth = 40
'If Excel 2000 or greater, add hyperlink with file name
'displayed. If earlier, add hyperlink with full path displayed
If Val(Application.Version) > 8 Then 'Using XL2000+
.Parent.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=.Offset(0, 1), _
Address:=Directory, _
TextToDisplay:=Directory
Else 'Using XL97
.Parent.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=.Offset(0, 1), _
Address:=Directory
End If
End With

End With
End With
End With
'Adds each file, details and hyperlinks to the list
For Each File In SubFolder
If Not Excludes(Right(File.Path, 3)) = True Then

'If Excel 2000 or greater, add hyperlink with file name
'displayed. If earlier, add hyperlink with full path displayed
If Val(Application.Version) > 8 Then 'Using XL2000+
.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0), _
Address:=File.Path, _
TextToDisplay:=File.Name
Else 'Using XL97
.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0), _
Address:=File.Path
End If
'Add date last modified, and size in KB
With .Range("A65536").End(xlUp)
.Offset(0, 1) = File.datelastModified
With .Offset(0, 2)
.Value = WorksheetFunction.Round(File.Size / 1024, 1)
.NumberFormat = "#,##0.0"
End With
.Offset(0, 3) = File.DateCreated
End With

End If
Next
End Sub

Hope you find it and hope it helps! :hi:
