Display a list of the folders and subfolders in VBA

First time posting in this forum!!! I found a KB entry by brettdj in this forum that lists the file atrributes of folders and subfolders. What I want to do is list the properties of folders and subfoldes in high level not the files contained in the subfolders. I would appreciate any help on how to do that.

For example:
Main folder: Database
Folders contained by main folder: SQL, Access, Oracle
Folders contained by SQL: Data2010, Data 2011 etc
Folders contained by Access: A, B, C, D, E etc
Is it possible to list just the properties of SQL, Access and oracle but not the folders inside of them?


I am absolutely new to programming and struggling to get this done.

Code:

How do I convert the size to say KB?

How do I convert the size to say KB?

Also, I only want to access the folders to certain level. I wanna access subfolders and the folders contained by subfolders not the hundreds of folders inside of them.

KB - divide by 1000.

If you want at a certain level, add a public vraiant to count each call and when it exceeds your designated level number, exit immediately.

Code:

---

Sub M_snb()
  With CreateObject("wscript.shell")
    For Each it In Array("SQL", "Access", "Oracle")
      c00 = c00 & vbCrLf & "G:\Database\" & it & Replace(.exec("cmd /c Dir G:\Database\" & it & "*.* /b").stdout.readall, vbCrLf, vbCrLf & "G:\Database\" & it) & "|"
    Next
  End With
 
  sn = filter(Filter(Split(c00, vbCrLf), "|", False),"\")
  ReDim sp(UBound(sn), 10)
   
  With CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
    For j = 0 To UBound(sn)
        With .getfile(sn(j))
        sp(j, 0) = sn(j)
        sp(j, 1) = .Parent
        sp(j, 2) = .Name
        sp(j, 3) = FileDateTime(sn(j))
        sp(j, 4) = .DateLastModified
        sp(j, 5) = .DateCreated
        sp(j, 6) = .Type
        sp(j, 7) = FileLen(sn(j))
    Next
 
    sheet1.cells(1).resize(Ubound(sp)+1,ubound(sp,2)+1)=sp
