Create Hyperlinked list of Files and Folders|VBA & Macros|Excel Forum|My Online Training Hub

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()

'clear the table

Dim CurrentFilename As String

Dim ListRows As Long
Dim Count As Long

'Get the first file, look for Normal, Read Only, System and Hidden files
'TargetFiles = StartingFolder.Path & "\" & FileType
TargetFiles = StartingFolder.Path & "\" & Application.PathSeparator & FileType

CurrentFilename = Dir(TargetFiles, 7)

Do While CurrentFilename <> ""
LinksTable.ListRows.Add
Set NewRow = LinksTable.ListRows(LinksTable.ListRows.Count).Range
'Write name of folder to cell
NewRow.Cells(1, 1).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=NewRow.Cells(1, 1), Address:=StartingFolder.Path, TextToDisplay:=StartingFolder.Path
'Create the file hyperlink
NewRow.Cells(1, 2).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=NewRow.Cells(1, 2), Address:=StartingFolder.Path & "\" & CurrentFilename, TextToDisplay:=CurrentFilename

'Get the next file
CurrentFilename = Dir

Loop

' For each SubFolder in the current StartingFolder call ListFilesInSubFolders (recursive)
' The sub continues to call itself for each and every folder it finds until it has
' traversed all folders below the original StartingFolder
For Each SubFolder In StartingFolder.SubFolders

ListFilesInSubFolders SubFolder, LinksTable

Next SubFolder

End Sub

Let me know what I am missing here.

Thanks
