Hi All,

I currently have the following macro which makes all files in a particular folder read only:

Sub setFileReadOnly()
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFile As String

sPath = "C:\Users\tp\Documents\B\*.*"

sFolder = Dir(sPath & "*.*")

Do Until sFile = ""
SetAttr sPath & sFile, vbReadOnly
sFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub

It's probably simple, but how I can amend this to include all the files and subfolders underneath folder B please?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Instead of a Dir function loop, use FileSystemObject methods to recursively loop through files and subfolders.
