I currently have code to look at each folder I have specified and open the latest excel spreadsheet, open it, print it, then close it. However, there are over 50 folders and I am wondering, instead of pasting this code 50 times for 50 folders...is there a way to have it look in these folders and do the same for each folder? I have specified 2 folders so far with pasting the entire code for each folder...
Sub OpenLatestFile()
'Declare the variables
Dim MyPath As String
Dim MyFile As String
Dim LatestFile As String
Dim LatestDate As Date
Dim LMD As Date
'Specify the path to the folder
MyPath = **"\\address to folder here\"**
'Make sure that the path ends in a backslash
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then MyPath = MyPath & "\"
'Get the first Excel file from the folder
MyFile = Dir(MyPath & "*.xls", vbNormal)
'If no files were found, exit the sub
If Len(MyFile) = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files were found...", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
'Loop through each Excel file in the folder
Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
'Assign the date/time of the current file to a variable
LMD = FileDateTime(MyPath & MyFile)
'If the date/time of the current file is greater than the latest
'recorded date, assign its filename and date/time to variables
If LMD > LatestDate Then
LatestFile = MyFile
LatestDate = LMD
End If
'Get the next Excel file from the folder
MyFile = Dir
Loop
'Open the latest file
Workbooks.Open MyPath & LatestFile
ActiveWorkbook.Activate
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
'Specify the path to the folder
MyPath = "\\address to folder here\"
'Make sure that the path ends in a backslash
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then MyPath = MyPath & "\"
'Get the first Excel file from the folder
MyFile = Dir(MyPath & "*.xls", vbNormal)
'If no files were found, exit the sub
If Len(MyFile) = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files were found...", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
'Loop through each Excel file in the folder
Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
'Assign the date/time of the current file to a variable
LMD = FileDateTime(MyPath & MyFile)
'If the date/time of the current file is greater than the latest
'recorded date, assign its filename and date/time to variables
If LMD > LatestDate Then
LatestFile = MyFile
LatestDate = LMD
End If
'Get the next Excel file from the folder
MyFile = Dir
Loop
'Open the latest file
Workbooks.Open MyPath & LatestFile
ActiveWorkbook.Activate
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _
