Hi

FileSearch is removed from Office 2007 because there where to many problems.

Although not from the help system where it still claims to exist :(

This disaster area claimed as runtime error 5111 is sort of documented
in the KB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920229/en-us

Under XP SP2 here it actually dies with runtime 445 - object does not
support this function.

Although their suggested alternative by a scripted bodge method is too
gruesome to contemplate seriously.
Why did they break such a useful general filesearch function?

You can use FSO, you can steal a part of the code here to make your loophttp://www.rondebruin.nl/fso.htm

Thanks for this tip. It should be incorporated into the KB.
