Is it possible to scan all directories AND subdirectories beginning from a specified path and save the directoriesnames in a Collection?
The "Dir"-method work fine for directories without subdirectories, but if there are subdirectories the "Dir"-method quit wit the error "Invalid procedure or argument) if it steps back to a parent-directory.

You could always use the FileSystemObject.
This code works like a champ :
(remember to include the ScriptingRunTime in your project)


Dim oFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set oFSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
iterate "c:\3pm"
End Sub

Private Function iterate(ByVal sDir As String) As String
Dim oDir As Scripting.Folder
Dim oSDir As Scripting.Folder

Set oDir = oFSO.GetFolder(sDir)

For Each oSDir In oDir.SubFolders
Debug.Print oSDir.Path
iterate oSDir.Path
Next
End Function



Let me know if that helps,
