Hi,

The code below works and produces a list of all files and folders but will not exceed 32767 rows in the excel output table - when it reaches this point the vba stops running with the error: "Run-time error '1004' Application-defined or Object-defined error" stopping at line:

 

NewRow.Cells(1, 2).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=NewRow.Cells(1, 2), Address:=StartingFolder.Path & “” & CurrentFilename, TextToDisplay:=CurrentFilename

 

Code below.

Option Explicit

Public FSO As New FileSystemObject
Private FileType As Variant

Sub ListHyperlinkFilesInSubFolders()

Let me know what I am missing here.
