someone had given me this code... (see below)...but the "filesearch"
option
does not pop up when I start typing the code.. I am using 2007
version...will
that make a difference?

Thank you

Here is another method

Sub test()
folder = "c:\temp"

Set FS = Application.FileSearch
With FS
.NewSearch
.LookIn = folder
.SearchSubFolders = False
'.Filename = "Run"
'.MatchTextExactly = True
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks

FileCount = .Execute

If FileCount 0 Then
MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & _
" file(s) found."
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If

End With


End Sub
