I have 40 queues to monitor with four sub-queues, so 160. I don't really want to write the below 160 times :-) This is for the first queue (AQ1), the folder structure runs upto AQ40.
VBA Code:
Sub CountFiles()

Dim strDir As String
Dim fso As Object
Dim objFiles As Object
Dim obj As Object
Dim lngFileCount As Long
       
strDir = "T:\X1Home\PDF_Poll\AQ1\Test\CREDIT\NONPOP\"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strDir).Files
lngFileCount = lngFileCount + objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B8").Value = objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A8").Value = strDir
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C8").Value = Now()
    
strDir = "T:\X1Home\PDF_Poll\AQ1\Test\CREDIT\POP\"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strDir).Files
lngFileCount = lngFileCount + objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B9").Value = objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A9").Value = strDir
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C9").Value = Now()

strDir = "T:\X1Home\PDF_Poll\AQ1\Test\INVOICE\NONPOP\"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strDir).Files
lngFileCount = lngFileCount + objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B10").Value = objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A10").Value = strDir
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C10").Value = Now()
    
strDir = "T:\X1Home\PDF_Poll\AQ1\Test\INVOICE\POP\"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strDir).Files
lngFileCount = lngFileCount + objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B11").Value = objFiles.Count
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A11").Value = strDir
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C11").Value = Now()
End Sub

Thanks in advance as always :-)
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
You could do something like this:

VBA Code:
Sub callit()
   Dim fso As Object
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   
   Dim cell As Range
   Set cell = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A8")
   
   Dim x As Long
   For x = 1 To 40
      QueueCount fso, "T:\X1Home\PDF_Poll\AQ" & x & "\Test\", cell
      ' move output cell down four rows
      Set cell = cell.Offset(4)
   Next x
End Sub
Sub QueueCount(fso As Object, FolderPath As String, outputCell As Range)
   Dim folderList
   folderList = Array("CREDIT\NONPOP\", "CREDIT\POP\", "INVOICE\NONPOP\", "INVOICE\POP\")
   Dim n As Long
   For n = LBound(folderList) To UBound(folderList)
      Dim strDir As String
      strDir = FolderPath & "\" & folderList(n)
      Dim objFiles As Object
      Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strDir).Files
      lngFileCount = lngFileCount + objFiles.Count
      outputCell.Offset(n).Resize(, 3).Value = Array(strDir, objFiles.Count, Now())
    Next n
End Sub

That's genius thank you.

One further ask - it seems that a lot of these folders have a file called "thumbs.db" in? Can I exclude that particular file from the count?

Try changing the second sub to this:

VBA Code:
Sub QueueCount(fso As Object, FolderPath As String, outputCell As Range)
   Dim folderList
   folderList = Array("CREDIT\NONPOP\", "CREDIT\POP\", "INVOICE\NONPOP\", "INVOICE\POP\")
   Dim n As Long
   For n = LBound(folderList) To UBound(folderList)
      Dim strDir As String
      strDir = FolderPath & "\" & folderList(n)
      Dim objFiles As Object
      Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strDir).Files
      Dim thisFileCount As Long
      thisFileCount = objFiles.Count
      If Len(Dir(strDir & "thumbs.db")) <> 0 Then thisFileCount = thisFileCount - 1
      lngFileCount = lngFileCount + thisFileCount
      outputCell.Offset(n).Resize(, 3).Value = Array(strDir, thisFileCount, Now())
    Next n
End Sub
