What's not working in your code?

So it looks like you are trying to create a spreadsheet of every subfolder and every file under a specific path. The logic of the code looks OK, what isn't happening that you want to? I ran this script against my temp folder and it worked fine.

I hope that helps.

wekk yes that is what i tryed but the problem is that the rootfolsder used (called folder) is added and the first layer of folders in there but not the folders in the second layer (sorry for my english is not that good)

OK, so what you are trying to do is called a recursive listing. Here is an example:

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
StartFolder = "C:\Windows"

Set oRoot = objFSO.GetFolder(StartFolder)
WScript.Echo oRoot.Name

For Each oFile In oRoot.Files
	WScript.Echo vbTab & vbTab & oFile.Name
Next

For Each oSubFolder In oRoot.SubFolders
	WScript.Echo oSubFolder.Name
	GetSubInfo oSubFolder.Path
Next



Function GetSubInfo(oSubFolder)
	Set oFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(oSubFolder)
	For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
		WScript.Echo vbTab & vbTab & oFile.Name
	Next
	For Each oSub In oFolder.SubFolders
		WScript.Echo oSub.Name
		GetSubInfo oSub.Path
	Next
End Function

I hope that helps.
