How do I can I read a directory from CD and place it in excel

[Jaggie]

I want to archive my CD-roms and find the back in a excel spreadsheet. Does
anyone know how to read directory structure from disk and import them into
axcel?

Jaggie,

Assuming your CD drive is D, this will list all files on the active sheet.

Sub FindCDFiles()
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "D:\"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If .Execute(msoSortOrderDescending) > 0 Then
MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & " file(s) found."
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Cells(i, 1).Value = .FoundFiles(i)
Cells(i, 2).Value = FileDateTime(.FoundFiles(i))
Cells(i, 3).Value = FileLen(.FoundFiles(i))
Next i
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
End Sub

HTH,
