Hello All,
Having made a habit of utilizing this newsgroup for "programming lessons",
and finding it invaluable, I finally have a question for which I cannot find
an answer. I think my answer is "find another way to do this without using
FileSearch." Yet, I must ask....
I am using typical FileSearch code (from this newsgroup) to locate the
latest file in a folder. In my application, this can be done via filenames
(mmyy at the beginning of each file in the folder). (Therein lies my answer)
The code worked a number of times with no problems, then starting giving the
following problem: The .LookIn value stays at "My Documents", (when moused
over while stepping through the code) instead of the coded folder on the
other side of the = sign. Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Some\Long\String\"
(mouse over .LookIn and get "C:\My Documents"

Looking forward to your experience and suggestions.
Randy
