This code works in early binding:

Code:
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSysemObject
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject

Dim MyFolder As Folder
Set MyFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\MyData")

Dim Num As Integer

Num = MyFolder.Files.Count

To change to late binding, how do I declare MyFolder?

For example:

Code:
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim MyFolder As Folder ' FAILS HERE

Thanks

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
