FileSearch with Office 2007

[Ricardo Rodrigues]

Hi,

I’ve a code that work fine with Word in Office 2003, but it returns an error
code with Office 2007: “This command is not available on this platformâ€.

The code breaks in the following line: Set fs = Applicaton.FileSearch

Do you know why?

Are you asking, "Do [we] know why Microsoft chooses to break their programming
languages by not ensuring forward compatability?"

Best anyone can really do on that is speculate. Java-envy, maybe?

Yes. Microsoft dropped the FileSearch object from the Office 2007 object
model. No, I don't know why.
