Excel add-in

I am trying to find an Excel add-in called "dirctory.xla". This file allows using Excel to capture the contents of a folder or directory which will display the folder or drive name, file name and several attributes. I have a copy of this dirctory.xla but it only works on Excel 97 and 2000. I am now using Excel 2003, where it does not work. I have googled it several times and did find a place to download it for $9.90, if memory serves me but again it does not work so have not paid for it even though the site says it is shareware and will work for a short period. The Microsoft web site comes up with a macro that is supposed to do the same thing but again that does not work. I get the following error message when an attempt is made.
