Speed,

Here's a simple little function to do it

Function FileCount(FolderName As String, _
Optional FileFilter As String = "*", _
Optional FileType As MsoFileType =
msoFileTypeAllFiles) As Long
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = FolderName
.SearchSubFolders = False ' True to include subfolders
.Filename = FileFilter
.MatchTextExactly = True
.FileType = FileType
.Execute
FileCount = .FoundFiles.Count
End With
End Function


Call it like
x = FileCount ("C:\MyTest"
for all file types, or
x = FileCount("C:\myTest",,msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks)
just for Excel workbooks
