Hi, I am new the forum and could use some help with some VBA coding. I have an excel file that makes a folder and subfolders when a new entry is made in a cell based upon the cell content. The problem is if the main folder name is modified, the change is not reflected in the excel file and vice versa. I would like to be able to modify the folder name in excel, then the folder in the directory would be updated to reflect the cell content, right now if I change the cell content it just makes a new folder and subfolders. Here is the current VBA code that I am using to create the main folder and subfolders.

Code:
Sub makefolder()
    Dim xdir As String
    Dim fso
    Dim lstrow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    lstrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For i = 2 To lstrow
        xdir = "S:\Customer Files\" & Range("C" & i) & Space(1) & Range("E" & i).Value
        If Not fso.FolderExists(xdir) Then fso.CreateFolder (xdir)
        If Not fso.FolderExists(xdir & "\Drawings") Then fso.CreateFolder (xdir & "\Drawings")
        If Not fso.FolderExists(xdir & "\Pictures") Then fso.CreateFolder (xdir & "\Pictures")
        If Not fso.FolderExists(xdir & "\Manuals") Then fso.CreateFolder (xdir & "\Manuals")
        If Not fso.FolderExists(xdir & "\Quotes") Then fso.CreateFolder (xdir & "\Quotes")
        Range("C" & i).Formula = "=HYPERLINK(""" & xdir & """, """ & Range("C" & i).Value & """)"
    Next
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
