Hello,
Is there a way to load and list all files in a directory and subdirectories with the file name AND file property origin detials (author, last editted, last saved by, etc)?
Some values in the origin details might be blank, and in those cases for that field list it as a blank or FALSE or some other unique identifier.
I have found code from http://software-solutions-online.com...ubdirectories/ that lists all files in the folder and sub folders, but it does not import the details. Screenshot shows the portion of the file property details I would like to import along with the file paths.

'the first row with data
Const ROW_FIRST As Integer = 5

'presses the run button
Private Sub btnGet_Click()

'from the folder dialog
Dim intResult As Integer
'the path selected by the user from the
'folder dialog

'Filesystem object
Dim objFSO As Object
'the current number of rows
Dim intCountRows As Integer
Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker).Title = _
"Select a Path"
'the dialog is displayed to the user
intResult = Application.FileDialog( _
msoFileDialogFolderPicker).Show
'checks if user has cancled the dialog
If intResult <> 0 Then
strPath = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker _

'loops through each file in the directory and prints their
'names and path

'loops through all the files and folder in the input path
Call GetAllFolders(strPath, objFSO, intCountRows)
End If
End Sub

I hope my request makes sense. Data to show across multiple columns will be ideal, but if will load info in single cell, as long as there is some type of delimiter between each field.
Thank you in advance and please let me know if you would like me to clarify anything.
