After reading all those good reports above, I must be the dumbest one out there, I need to be able to record the contents of CD’s I have saved image files into. When I had Office 2003 it was easy to add a file directory xla, now that I use Office 2007 I am undable get it installed with Excel 2007. Have tried yours as well. I have activated Macors, still can’t seam to make it work. Hope you can help.

@HL

If you aren’t bothered with having a neat coded solution then just use sysexporter (point 1. above).

If you open up a window with the list of folders in and run it (in explorer detailed view with modified date showing) you will get a text file of the folder names and modified dates as shown.

HTH, All the best

Hey… This is the best software for the purpose.. I had the need a couple of times to create such spreadsheets so that my team can comment, but I had always gone through the more laborious route. At the extreme I once coded a simple macro, but that is nothing compared to what you have done…. Your XLA rocks!!!
Many thanks and kudos for the work….

Glad you found it useful. I found ASAP lacking and not free.

Hyperlinks are straightforward (If you download the file again you will see it now prompts you at the end if you want to add hyperlinks).

Here is the quick do statement code I used to do that:

Do
TheAddress = ActiveCell.Value & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, address:=”" & TheAddress & “”, TextToDisplay:=”" & TheAddress & “”
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until ActiveCell.Value = “”

Thanks for filedir.zip. It saved me tons of time, and creates a nice clean list.
