Hey,

Thanks a lot for your time. I am trying to count how many doc files whose files name contains My document.

two errors:

1 it does not go through all the doc files. Those are not hidden.
2 when loop to last file, it does not continue to loop to "". It just stuck in last file. so that loop never ends...:confused::confused::confused:

please help me. here is the code i have.


Sub file()

Dim a As String
Dim i As Integer


a = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\*.doc"

b = Dir$(a)

Do While b <> " "

If b Like "*My document*" Then

i = i + 1

End If

b = Dir$()

Loop

End Sub
