FileSearch on a remote server
Hello - I am using FileSearch to search for files on a remote server. On
some of the machines, it is taking a long time to return the results (which I expect). On other machines, .Execute is returning 0 after a few seconds. Any suggestions on how to manipulate these machines to take the necessary time to return the correct result would be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks, Mike |

Filesearch is flakey. I'm not sure that there's anything that you can do to
make sure it works correctly. In fact, MS dropped filesearch from xl2007! And you've been kind of lucky that it failed by returning 0. It could have failed by missing a few and you may not have noticed! Ron de Bruin has an alternative using scripting: http://www.rondebruin.nl/fso.htm and using dir(): http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy3.htm Mike Archer wrote: Hello - I am using FileSearch to search for files on a remote server.
