Hi everyone, I have been banginf my head on this for quite a while and can't figure it out. I want a userform which lets me select a folder, and then once i select it, it shows me all the files not only within that folder, but all the subfolders as well.
i have it so it shows me all the files within the folder, but not within the sub folders.

master folder
--------------folder 1
----------------------file 1
----------------------file 2
----------------------file 2
--------------folder 2
----------------------file 1
--------------folder 3
----------------------file 1
----------------------file 2

how can I get it to loop through all the folders within my selected folder?

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

        GetFilenameFromPath = GetFilenameFromPath(Left$(strPath, Len(strPath) - 1)) + Right$(strPath, 1)
    End If
