I'm still looking for a Windows way to do this, but gool old DOS does
this easily ...
At the root of the drive, use this at the command line:

DIR *.mdb /s /b >c:\temp\mdblist.txt

Subject: [AccessD] OT - file search results save


I did a search of one of our server drives for all *.MDB using the
Windows 2000 search.  Give name of file, directory, size, modify date.
Great just what I want, except I can not figure out how to get the
results into a file
- word, text, excel 

If I do save results, it puts it into a file but all that seems to do is
save the search string.  


Does anyone know how I can save the listing or have a utility that will
allow me to save this in a file. It is probably something simple but I
am just getting no where.

Thanks
Patti
