That does not work. I have a test file created with the number 12345 in one
cell located in a specific folder. It does not find it.

* means that the file may contain any name.
*.xls OR *.xlsx OR *.xlsb OR *.xlsm will make the search to go through only
with Excel files other than looking in all files. If you are using Excel 2003
then use the extension as *.xls in All part of the File Name.

I am trying to do a Windows search to find an Excel file containing a

option within Excel...no luck. There has to be a way to do this...any ideas?
Thanks.
