HowTo: Capture File/Folder Details

[Steve]

Hi there...

I hope this isn't a stupid question but I have a need to "capture" a
directory tree into Word, Excel or Access. I don't mind doing "whatever"
folder-by-folder. I need full path-name, complete file name, date/time, and
file size.

I'm looking to document an App we've made. It's in 3 main folders, 1 folder
has maybe 250-300 sub-folders totally maybe 2500 files... some sub-folders
are 8-10 deep. I'd like to electronically capture the "current position"
and then the "next position" and be able to compare the two to determine
what's been changed.

Thanks in advance,
Steve
