No Application.FileFind method in Word 2004 VBA

[Dirk Speder]

Now correct topic - sorry for double posting

Hello,
I upgraded to the new Office 2004 for mac and suddenly my most urgently
needed VBA program refuses to work.
The problem seems to be: The Application.FileFind method does no longer
exist.
My code collects the names of template file names into an array and I don't
know how to do this without the FileFind method.
Can anybody help?

Unfortunately, probably not...

The situation is especially egregious since the Word04 Help topic
"Strategies for Developing Cross-Platform Solutions" uses the
now-phantom Application.FileFind property.

This is a total bummer for my critical project as well. I'm
considering RealBasic

MacBU would heartily approve. They've been trying to direct developers
to RealBasic for years now...

It's only because I know some of the folks at MacBU that I don't think
some VBA bugs were inserted to push RealBasic.

Of course, I don't know whether any particular problem is in VBA or
within the object model itself. If the latter, I'm not sure whether
you'll see improved performance with RealBasic.
