Thanks again, Ron. I changed to using a Dir approach and everything works
fine. Looks like ole MS needs to do a little work on FileSearch. Do I look
surprised?

Hi Roy

There are more problems with FileSearch.
Use Dir instead or fill a array with file names

Maybe you can steal some code from this page.

Ron,
Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but unfortunately got the same result.
BTW, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 and Excel 2003.

Hi roy

Try it with:
.LookIn = "C:\Tsfr\"
.Filename = ".doc"

I copied the code below right out of Excel VBA Help, changing only the
folder specified in ".Lookin" to "C:\Tsfr". I know this folder exists on my
computer and contains three .doc files. Therefore the code should report
three files found, but instead it erroneously reports no files found. Any
suggestions as to what's going on would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sub Filetest()
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
.LookIn = "C:\Tsfr"
.Filename = "*.doc"
If .Execute(SortBy:=msoSortByFileName,
SortOrder:=msoSortOrderAscending) 0 Then
MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & " file(s) found."
For i= 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
MsgBox .FoundFiles(i)
Next i
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
End Sub
