    Help!! Output list of folders to particular cell

    Hi, Need some help with my VBA as I'm new to all this.

    I have so far made some code which will look at a folder, that is selected in cell B1, and then create a list of all the folder names inside that folder and then turn all of the names into hyperlinks to the folder in question. The problem comes when I change folders which will happen every month.

    Is it possible to output this list of folders to a pre-defined cell that could be set in excel, say cell D1, so that when the folder is changed every month they will not overwrite the previous months folder names. I have tried this twice but failed each time.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Below is the code I have written so far.

    Please edit your post, refer to rule#3 of the forum rules:


    3. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the [#] button at the top of the post window (if you are editing an existing post, press Go Advanced to see the [#] button). The result will appear like this in the post window:

    [code ]Please Login or Register to view this content.[/code]

    You can also type the code tags in manually if you prefer. For more information about these and other tags, click here.
    Remember, saying thanks only takes a second or two. Click the star icon(*) below the post you liked, to give some Rep if you think an answer deserves it.

    Ok, thank you for editing that. Would it work if you just had the folder names with links added to a growing list?

    You could do that by changing one line of code there:

    This line:

    Becomes:

    That should do it - it will find the next blank row to place the link. I used the WS.CELLS() instead of the RANGE() you were using - that is just how I would do that. The key step is finding the bottom row and offsetting by 1 row.

    Yes that seems the more efficent way of doing it. Although I tried the code and it didn't work. You mean as it is below?
