.FileSearch

[Randall]

Has something changed in Excel 2002 (or XP) such that
the .FileSearch Property no longer works as it had in
Excel 2000? The FileSearch no longer returns the correct
results from a search. For example, the code listed
below only returns the .html files listed on my C drive.
Searches for "*.doc" or "*.xls" always return empty.

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = "*.*"
.MatchTextExactly = True
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
.Execute
End With

Any thoughts?

In searching this newsgroup, there was only 1 question
(posted 10/22/03) similar to this and it was never
answered.

Check out this thread from google search. Consensus is that WinXP is a bit
buugy when it comes to FileSearch.

Hi Randall

You can try .xls or .doc

You can also use the Dir function
I use it in some examples on my site, maybe you can use it

Not tested but try commenting out this line

.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
