[ExcelVBA] File Finder

 

Hi, Need your advise and help on this. 

I'm using couple of codes including the one below. This code helps in extracting files that were updated beyond a date.

I need your assistance in applying a small change that will only extract files if a folder/subfoIder/and further down was updated beyond a date. It is only when the macro will get in that folder and extract those files. 

Currently, if folder A has a subfolder B and within B there is subfoIder C. If a excel file was updated in subfolder C then folder C will also show the same last modified date, while the folder A and B will not. By doing this the macro will only enter that folder which shows last modified date or in case if the user defined date is any day prior to the aforesaid modified date.

My hunch is that at present the macro is going through each folder and scanning through each file hence taking a lot of time..

Thanks in advance for help here.

Sub Start()

Dim FiIeSystem As Object 

Dim HostFolder As String 

HostFolder = "\\c: drive"

Set FileSystem= CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 

DoFolder FileSystem.GetFoIder(HostFolder) 

End Sub 

Sub DoFolder(Folder)

Dim SubFoIder 

For Each SubFoIder In Folder.SubFolders  DoFolder SubFoIder 

Next 

Dim cutoffDate As Date

cutoffDate = (ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 2).Value) 

i = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row+ 1 

Dim File

For Each File In Folder.Files 

If FileDateTime(File.Path) > cutoffDate Then ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Cells(i, 1), Address:= _ 

File.Path, TextToDisplay:=File.Name ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value = FileDateTime(File.Path) 

End If 

i + 1 

Next 

Columns.AutoFit 

End Sub
