    Question VBA Help - Creating Folders and Subfolders in Windows Explorer

    Hey

    Please bear with me, I am a complete novice and very much in awe with the information I have already received from browsing the posts on this forum.

    Whilst I have had some progress, I don't seem to be able to find exactly what I am looking for and am hoping that someone will be able to help me.

    I have two lists in Excel, the first column (column A) contains the names of all employees (around 400), column B contains a list of 12 values (subfolder names).

    I really want to be able to generate parent folders with the values of column A and, within these, have all 12 subfolders with the values in column B within each of the parent folders.

    So far I have been able to create all the parent folders but without the 12 subfolders - I am happy to either delete them all again and start from scratch or apply a macro which will add the subfolders to the current parent folders.

    Any ideas? Any help will be so gratefully received!

    Thank you
