Hello, I'm just a beginner with VB.

Ken Puls had a macro, which was almost the one I needed, except it did just hyperlinked the files

Could anybody help me with a macro that auto hyperlink just the folders of a directory?:help


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
With .Range("A2")
.Value = "File Name"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
With .Offset(0, 1)
.ColumnWidth = 15
.Value = "Date Modified"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
With .Offset(0, 2)
.ColumnWidth = 15
.Value = "File Size (Kb)"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
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
With ActiveSheet
'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.AddAnchor:=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
End With
End With
End If
Next
End Sub

Welcome to the forum!

There are too many blank lines in that code to make much sense to me. After 5 posts you can post a link to a kb article. You could just give the number or add space characters in the url.

Did you want the full path or just the last folder path as the hypertext?

e.g. x:\Excel\Ken would be x:\Excel\Ken or Ken.

Kenneth,

Thanks for replyen. I've allready found an add-in for excel.
It's called DirTree 2.0. With this you can choose full folder path name or just the foldernames. I can't upload, because it's an .xla file.
