This is driving me crazy.

I use the following to search for files that are ".xls" files and contain a
sub name in the VBA:

MyFilePath is the path to the My Documents folder on whatever system this
runs on

StartTime = Time
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.FileName = "*.xls"
.LookIn = MyFilePath
.SearchSubFolders = True
.TextOrProperty = "BuildStreetsReports"
.MatchTextExactly = True
.Execute
EndTime = Time
MsgBox ("Done searching. It took " & (EndTime - StartTime) * 24 * 60
& " minutes")


On my Windows XP system that search takes les than 20 seconds.

But when I run it on my Windows 98 system, it can take up to 10 minutes and
sometimes just hangs and won't come back at all, even if I let it run for an
hour.

I am beginning to think there is something wrong with Windows or my Office
installation.

Has anyone else ever had this kind of problem with FileSearch, or have any
ideas or suggestions?
