Here is one more interesting VBA tool from the ExcelSirJi team. File Properties Tool is an Excel VBA tool that gets the following properties of the file.
'This function loops through all the files in the folder and
'gets the properties of each file and displays them on the sheet
Public Sub GetFileProperties()
'Variable Declaration
Dim objFS As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim strPath As String
Dim vFile As Variant
Dim iCurRow As Integer
'Clear old data from the sheet
Sheet1.Range("C7:H" & Sheet1.Rows.Count).ClearContents
'Set the path of the folder
strPath = Sheet1.Range("C3").Value
'Add slash at the end of the path
If Right(strPath, 1) <> "/" And Right(strPath, 1) <> "\" Then
strPath = strPath & "\"
End If
'Set Directory to folder path
ChDir strPath
vFile = Dir(strPath & "*.*") 'Change or add formats to get specific file types
'Set the variable to FileSystemObject
Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
iCurRow = 7
Do While vFile <> "" 'LOOP until all files in folder strPath have been looped through
Set objFile = objFS.getfile(vFile)
'File name
Sheet1.Cells(iCurRow, 3).Value = objFile.Name
'Date Created
Sheet1.Cells(iCurRow, 4).Value = objFile.DateCreated
'Date Last Accessed
Sheet1.Cells(iCurRow, 5).Value = objFile.DateLastAccessed
'Date Last Modified
Sheet1.Cells(iCurRow, 6).Value = objFile.DateLastModified
'Size
Sheet1.Cells(iCurRow, 7).Value = Round(objFile.Size / 1024 / 1024, 2)
'Type
Sheet1.Cells(iCurRow, 8).Value = objFile.Type
vFile = Dir
iCurRow = iCurRow + 1
Loop
End Sub

To ensure that your VBA project works smoothly without any error, you need to put lot of error handlers and validations. Here is one of them, below code can be used to check if the given path is valid or not. You just need to provide the path of the file to the function and it will check if the file exist at the location. If it returns True that means the file is available at the path, if it returns False that means it is invalid path or the file does not exist at the location.

In MS Access, the best way to create a multiuser tool is to divide your solution. One part acts as interface and other one acts as database. You can have multiple copies of the interface distributed to users which are connected to central MS Access database saved at common shared drive. To connect the interface to database, you can use link table feature (Access>External Data>Import & Link) available in MS Access. Below is a commonly required VBA code which helps the developers to re-link MS Access linked tables when the database is renamed or moved to other location

This is a good bit of code. What I am struggling with is to amend the code to carry on the search in all subfolders. Ideally I’d love some code that would allow me to look for all Purchase Orders files containing “(SPO)” and to list them as you have here with a hyperlink on the file name. Again ideally this files contains field, would be a user typed variable, so we could look at all acknowledgements “(ACK)” or project references etc
