value, and am unable to get search results using Windows 2000 and Excel 2003 files. Why? -- Jean |

Not really an Excel question. Windows' search functionality is very limited.
I don't believe that it can search for text within documents, just file names, etc. Either upgrade to Vista, get a Mac, or download Google desktop and allow it to index your hard drive.

The Window search was working great as described before I had to upgrade to
Office 2003. Unfortunately, we now have many users with the work practice, and they are struggling to find an answer. -- Jean "Dave F" wrote: Not really an Excel question.

It can. Still I think it's good advice to try Google desktop, because it seems to be much faster (I still use Windows search, but I'm known to be lazy...) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Dave F" wrote in message ... | Not really an Excel question.
