End Sub

FileSearch has been dropped for Excel 2007.

Try

Sub test()
Dim foldername As String
Dim FSO As Object
Dim fldr As Object
Dim file As Object
Dim cnt As Long

foldername = "C:\Data"
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
Set fldr = FSO.GetFolder(foldername)
For Each file In fldr.Files

If file.Type Like "*Microsoft Office Excel*" Then

cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next file

Set file = Nothing

Just small question with you bob that at the moment your code is
counting all excel files in a folder. But how can i specify it to
just count "xlsx" excel format files in folder.

Change

If file.Type Like "*Microsoft Office Excel*" Then

to

If file.Type Like "*Microsoft Office Excel W*" Then

One way:

Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim foldername As String
Dim FSO As Object
Dim fldr As Object
Dim file As Object
Dim cnt As Long


foldername = "C:\Data"

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
Set fldr = FSO.GetFolder(foldername)
For Each file In fldr.Files
If LCase(file.Name) Like "*.xlsx" Then
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next file

Set file = Nothing
Set fldr = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing

Range("A1").Value = cnt
End Sub

Thanks Dave for you help

Bob, how would one search by extension type, say for example -- only .xlsm ?

Thanks again Bob for all your help and time

Thanks Bob;
FWIW:
Last Comment - When comparing the Count (in Cell A1) to my actual 2007 Data
files, I found the code to produce 1 greater than the actual count. Had to
(on last line) use Range("A1").Value = cnt - 1

Hi Bob-

I have a similar problem, except my Excel 2003 macro used to loop
through files in a folder and run a macro on them (like an update file
macro or something). Now I cannot run that and I have been trying
extremely hard to figure a way around it but I'm completely
lost...here's my old code, any help from anyone please would help :)

Dim lCount As Long
Dim wbResults As Workbook
Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Insert path to folder with files to update below
.LookIn = "C:\Documents and Settings\Jennifer
Sturgill\Desktop\ERCI-JS Offline\JUNE VPM MACRO Defender
Files\TESTFILES"
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
'.Filename = "Book*.xls"
If .Execute 0 Then 'Workbooks in folder
For lCount = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count 'Loop through all.
'Open Workbook x and Set a Workbook variable to it
Set wbResults =
Workbooks.Open(Filename:=.FoundFiles(lCount), UpdateLinks:=0)
Application.Run "PERSONAL.xls!VPM_BudgetUpdates2"
Next lCount
End If
End With

On Error GoTo 0


THANKS! J
