Display a list of the folders and subfolders in VBA

[dm28949]

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.
