Search for Excel Files in a Column Range using FSO


In the code below what I am trying to achieve is that the code searches for the files that are entered in column range F in the given path which is "D:\Checksheets\". I am still learning the FSO and would greatly appreciate any help.

Sub Test()

Dim FSO As Object
Dim FSO_Folder As Object
Dim FSO_file As Object

Dim path As String


Dim sheetref As String
Dim nextform As String
Dim row As Integer
Dim col As Integer

row = 8
col = 6

sheetref = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(row, col)

'nextform = sheetref

path = "D:\Checksheets\"

Do Until Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(row, col) = "END"

    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set FSO_Folder = FSO.GetFolder(path)

    For Each FSO_file In FSO_Folder.Files
        If FSO_file.Name = sheetref Then

        MsgBox "done" & path
    Else

    End If
    row = row + 1
    Next

Loop

End Sub

Solution

  • Thanks to Alex I was able to get the code working. In case someone has similar issue, below is the code:

    Sub test()
    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    
    Dim sht As Worksheet, cell As Range
    Dim row As Integer
    Dim col As Integer
    Dim path As String
    
    path = "D:\Checksheets\"
    
    row = 1
    col = 6
    Set sht = Sheets("Sheet1")
    
    Do
    
        Set cell = sht.Cells(row, col)
    
        If cell.Value = "END" Then Exit Do
    
        If cell.Value <> "" Then    ' checks for any empty cells
    
        FSO.FileExists (path)
    
            MsgBox "file exists"
    
        Else
    
        End If
    
    
    
        row = row + 1
    Loop
    
    End Sub
