Application.Filesearch defaults to My Documents

[anoopr]

Hi,
I have a piece of code which look like this:
******************
With Application.FileSearch
.LookIn = strFolder
.SearchSubFolders = False
.............
******************
if the strfolder is a network folder on which I dont have any access the .LookIn always defaults to "My Documents" . Does anybody have a workaround?

Thanks,
Anoop

Test if Dir access is OK then use the Chdir
function to default to the Dir you want.

eg
<pre/>

If Dir(StrFolder) <> "" Then StrFolder = "C:"
With Application.FileSearch
.LookIn = StrFolder
.SearchSubFolders = False
End With

</pre>

I'd wanted an error to be raised when the folder specified in .LookIn could not be accessed. Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks,
