    File not responding

    I'm running a macro which uses File System Object to get the Name and Title of a large number of PDF documents.
    Because of the large memory required, it looks like my Excel file is about to crash, it goes blank with File Not Responding warning.
    Is there a way to stop this from occurring.
    Is the file really about to crash or is it that there's no memory left for other tasks?
    I don't know if the PDF files are actually opened in the background to get the Title property.

    One thing your code is doing is inserting one row at a time for each file. That is very cumbersome.

    The code below first puts all the files and details in an array. Then inserts all the needed rows en masse. Then pastes the data. The Dictionary object was not needed.

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    Great, thanks for the alternative method. Putting into an array sounds correct.
