Hello,
I'm using WSH to call a vbs script on a remote machine that launches Excel
and calls a stored macro. The script successfully launches and the macro
is
successfully run.

However, within this macro, I use FileSearch to query a directory on a
shared file sever. When I run the vbs script locally, the FileSearch
executes correctly and FileSearch returns all files in the directory.
However, when I launch the script remotely, .Execute returns 0 and the
macro
is done. In both cases, the Dir method returns that the path is valid, so
it
doesn't seem to be an issue with visibility to the directory or server.
I've
pasted the macro code below.

Any ideas why FileSearch wouldn't execute in a macro that is called
remotely?

Many Thanks! Pat
