I think you'd have to do it with a FileSearch and write the results of each
FoundFiles item into the table.  Here's a FileSearch sample.
 
Sub SimpleSearch()
  'Perform simple search using the FileSearch object,\.
  Dim varItem as Variant
  With Application.Filesearch
    .NewSearch
    .FileName = "*.ini"
    .LookIn = "C:\Windows"
    .Execute
    For Each varItem in .foundFiles
      Debug.print varItem
    Next varItem
  End With
End Sub

Hi all 

Does anyone have a code snippet for pulling file search results into Access?


What I want is to pull the filename, path & size of all files of a given
type on a particular drive, including those in subfolders, into a table. I
need to do it *fast*!!!

TIA
