try this code. when searching a web directory I think youjust need to put //
infront of the filename

strFolder = "//abc.com/mydir"



Public file_loc As String
Sub findfile()
'set MyFilename and strfold as required

'file to search for
Const MyFileName = "xyz.txt"
'directory to start searching
strFolder = "c:\temp"
file_loc = ""
Set fso = CreateObject _
("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = _
fso.GetFolder(strFolder)

Call GetWorksheetsSubFolder(strFolder + "\", MyFileName)

MsgBox ("File found in folder: " & file_loc)
End Sub

Sub GetWorksheetsSubFolder(strFolder, MyFileName)
Set fso = CreateObject _
("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set folder = _
fso.GetFolder(strFolder)

If folder.subfolders.Count 0 Then
For Each sf In folder.subfolders
On Error GoTo 100
Call GetWorksheetsSubFolder(strFolder + sf.Name + "\", MyFileName)
If file_loc < "" Then Exit For
100 Next sf
End If
'folder size in bytes
On Error GoTo 200
If file_loc = "" Then
For Each fl In folder.Files
If fl.Name = MyFileName Then
file_loc = folder.Name
End If
Next fl
End If
200 On Error GoTo 0

End Sub
