Hi, I am using excel 2010. I have searched internet and have come up with below codes to:
1- Open a folder 2- Loop through excel files and open them one by one. 3- Check existence of path in opened file (path is in the sheet called "Path", cell B2 of opened file) 4- Give me a message if path does not exist. 5- Go to next file in folder and repeat above The problem is that when I check the existence of path, it changes the DIR so my loop is only opening the 1st file in strPath and then it changes to 2ns DIR I tried to change the path back to strPath but when it loops it always opens the first file (which it already checked in 1st round of loops). Here is my code: strPath = BrowseFolder(Caption:="Select the folder with list of employees.") ' I have a function to get path to where my files are strExtension = Dir(strPath & "\" & "*.xls*") Do While Len(strExtension) <> 0 'checking if folder exists Set wbOpen = Workbooks.Open(strPath & "\" & strExtension) 'To check if folder in B2 exists: If Len(Dir(wbOpen.Sheets("path").Range("B2").Value, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then ' This changes the Dir MsgBox "Below folder does not exist! Please correct the path on template (or create folder) and re-run the program." & vbNewLine & wbOpen.Sheets("path").Range("B2").Value Exit Sub End If With wbOpen .Close SaveChanges:=False End With k = Len(Dir(strPath)) ' Just to change the Dir to strPath- it does change the path to strPath but starts from 1st file again and again and again strExtension = Dir Loop I searched a lot but could not find anything that I understand. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nasim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
