I have trying to send emails to a list of address and add the entire pdfs in a folder,
the code works the problem i have is that the files can be add only if i put a full path.
I want it to go to D and get all the pdfs or files from the folder and create email.
so again everything works except the attachments need a full path, but i just want to put the path of the folder and it will take all the files from it,
thank you.

I always use this function, returning an array of all filenames matching your spec. You can super easily integrate that in your code.
Function GetFileList(FileSpec As String) As Variant
' Returns an array of filenames that match FileSpec
' If no matching files are found, it returns False
Dim FileArray() As Variant
Dim FileCount As Integer
Dim FileName As String
On Error GoTo NoFilesFound
FileCount = 0
FileName = Dir(FileSpec)
If FileName = "" Then GoTo NoFilesFound
'Loop until no more matching files are found
Do While FileName <> ""
FileCount = FileCount + 1
ReDim Preserve FileArray(1 To FileCount)
FileArray(FileCount) = FileName
FileName = Dir()
Loop
GetFileList = FileArray
Exit Function
' Error handler
NoFilesFound:
GetFileList = False
End Function
Function comes from http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/tip/getting_a_list_of_file_names_using_vba/
If the path is always the same, define it at the top like this (include the trailing backslash)
Const myPath = "D:\FilesAreHere\"
Then change the attachment line to this:
.Attachments.Add myPath & cell.Offset(0, 3).Value

This question is based on a previous post from 2015: VBA List all files (fast way) in subfolders without FileSystemObject
The code below was initally provided by MacroMan, and it works great. However whenever I try to just get the file name, not full path, it doesn't seem to work. What adjustments need to be made to just retrieve the name of the file.(ie. if the retrieved path is C:/desktop/file.pdf I only want to retrieve "file")
Additionally, if the list in excel is constantly getting refreshed, and a corresponding column has user input, how can i get the user input to move with updated information from running the macro, so it doesn't get assigned to a file that isn't related. (ie. if "file1" is in A1 and a date "11/2" is manually input into B1, and then new files are placed into the subfolder, causing "file1" to move down a few rows to A7, how can i make sure the manually assigned date "11/2" automatically moves down to B7 to coincide with "file1"?)

Debug.Print results
'// uncomment to dump results into column A of spreadsheet instead:
'// Range("A1").Resize(UBound(Split(results, vbCrLf)), 1).Value = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Split(results, vbCrLf))

I have attempted to use FSO with this script, but have also been unsuccessful:
Sub ListFiles()
Dim objFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim objTopFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim strTopFolderName As String
Dim path As String
path = Range("I3").Value
strTopFolderName = "C:\" & path & "\"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTopFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strTopFolderName)
Call RecursiveFolder(objTopFolder, True)
End Sub
Sub RecursiveFolder(objFolder As Scripting.Folder, _
IncludeSubfolders As Boolean)
Dim objFile As Scripting.File
Dim objSubFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim NextRow As Long
NextRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Row + 1
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
Cells(NextRow, "J8").Value = objFile.Name
NextRow = NextRow + 1
Next objFile
If IncludeSubfolders Then
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
Call RecursiveFolder(objSubFolder, True)
Next objSubFolder
End If
End Sub
This seems to do the trick pretty well.

I think that the code can be more simple and dynamic if you play with your own excel file.
Use "A1" range to put the source folder.
Use "B:B" range to put the
name of the files.
Use "C:C" range to concatenate the previous
columns.
Use "D1" range to put the destination folder.
Sub copyFiles()
'Macro for copy files
'Set variable
Dim source As String
Dim destination As String
Dim x As Integer
Dim destinationNumber As Integer
destinationNumber = WorksheetFunction.CountA(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C:C"))
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Create the folder if not exist
If Dir(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D1"), 16) = "" Then
MkDir ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D1")
End If
'Run the loop to copy all the files
For x = 1 To destinationNumber
source = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & x)
destination = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D1")
FileCopy source, destination
Next x
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
With this you can change the folders' paths and file names whenever you want. I've used FileCopy to preserve your files in the source but if you need to delete it's better use other method.

I have a file name of a pdf that I want to search for in a folder on a shared network drive \\Share\Projects. The pdf will be in one of the subfolders under projects. I then want to return the entire file path of the pdf into a cell (eg \\Share\Projects\Subfolder\Another subfolder\thisone.pdf).
I have started the code but can't figure out how to search a file system:
Sub InsertPath()
Dim PONumber As String
PONumber = InputBox("PO Number:", "PO Number")
'search for order
Dim myFolder As Folder
Dim myFile As File
'This bit doesn't work
Set myFolder = "\\Share\Projects"
For Each myFile In myFolder.Files
If myFile.Name = "PO" & PONumber & ".pdf" Then
'I have absolutely no idea how to do this bit
End If
Next
End Sub
Am I on the right track or is my code completely wrong?

Well, your folder declaration isn't set against a filesystemobject so it can't find the folder. And because it's a network location, you may need to map a network drive first so that it's a secure link.
So here's an updated version of your code.
EDIT - to OP's conditions.
Dim PONumber As String
Sub InsertPath()
PONumber = InputBox("PO Number:", "PO Number")
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim Servershare As String
ServerShare = "S:\"
Dim Directory As Object
Set Directory = fso.GetFolder(ServerShare)
Subfolderstructure Directory
End Sub
Function Subfolderstructure(Directory As Object)
For Each oFldr in Directory.SubFolders
For Each FileName In oFldr.Files
If FileName.Name = "PO" & PONumber & ".pdf" Then
sheets("Sheet1").range("A1").value = ServerShare & "\PO" & PONumber & ".pdf"
Exit For
End If
Next
Dim sbfldrs : Set sbfldrs = ofldr.SubFolders
If isarray(sbfldrs) then
Subfolderstructure ofldr
End if
Next
'Cleanup
Set FileName = Nothing
Set Directory = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Function
I have not tested this code. Try it out and let me know how it works.
first-time poster but long-time fan for finding VBA and SQL solutions on this site. I have a VBA subroutine that is designed to find all PDF files within a directory that the user designates. The program does recursions through all subfolders and generates a spreadsheet as follows:
Column A: complete file path ("C:\Users\Records\NumberOne.pdf")
Column B: folder path containing the file ("C:\Users\Records\")
Column C: the file name itself ("NumberOne.pdf")
Up to this point, the program (code below) works flawlessly. I've used it to search a directory with over 50,000 PDF files, and it successfully generates the spreadsheet every time (total elapsed time for the program is usually 5-10 minutes in large directories).
The problem is that I want to add Column D to capture the date that the PDF file was created. I have Googled this and labored over it for hours, trying techniques like FSO.DateCreated and so forth, and nothing has worked. If FSO.DateCreated is what I need, I'm not sure where to insert it in my subroutine to make it work. Usually I get an error that the object does not support that property or method. Does anybody happen to know where I can insert the proper code for my program to find the date each PDF was created and drop it into Column D on my output spreadsheet?

You need to get the file with GetFile before you can access the DateCreated.
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFile(myFileName)
str = f.DateCreated
MsgBox (str)
Your code is fine (beside some issues with indentation). I just added the instruction to get the creation date from the file system, as you can see below:
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For i = 1 To lr
ThisEntry = Cells(i, 1)
'-- EXTRACT FOLDER PATH AND FILE NAME FROM STRING
For j = Len(ThisEntry) To 1 Step -1
If Mid(ThisEntry, j, 1) = Application.PathSeparator Then
Cells(i, 2) = Left(ThisEntry, j)
Cells(i, 3) = Mid(ThisEntry, j + 1)
Cells(i, 4) = FSO.GetFile(ThisEntry).DateCreated
Exit For
End If
Next j
Next i
I don't know why you weren't able to use the FSO object, but I believe it can be because few lines below you set it to nothing, so I instantiated it again before the first For cycle:
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Hope this helps,

FileSystem.FileDateTime(inputfilepath) returns a variant or date of when the file was last created or modified.
