 |
|
I have a number of macros that have been running since Word98, but now when
run in Word2007 they blow out with an error #5111 - "This command is not
available on this platform". When I ran it down it turned out to be the
Application.Filesearch which was causing the error. I checked the Object
browser for Word2007 and All Libraries, it seems that the FileSearch doesn't
exist anymore.
Is this true or am I missing something?
If it doesn't exist anymore how can I now search a directory for a file in
Wood2007?
I use the Application.FileSearch in quite a few places in my macros.
Thanks,
Steve |

Hi StephenW,
application.filesearch has gone.

See help on "dir" function.
See as well:

If you're somewhat advanced, together with "shell",
you might find code like this helpful, too.
C:\Test>dir *.doc /b /S > c:\dir.txt
