Roz,
Please don't think me silly, but...are the other 128 databases in
directories that were not specified in the .LookIn property. Does the
person running the code have access to the directories that the other
databases are located?

Thanks for this, Karen reports that it works beautifully in terms of
bringing back the additional info. It still only returns 152 of our 280
databases though! Gah!

Here's code that I tested and it seems to be working. I have a table
called tbl_Files in which I want to place the name of the database
found, the directory it is located, it's size, when it was created, when
it was last modified, and when it was last accessed.
Private Sub cmdFileObject_Click()
' Provides the user Path, File Name,
' and File Size
' Insure there is a reference to the
' Microsoft Scripting Runtime
' Access 2000/2002
On Error GoTo cmdFileObject_ERR
Dim rst As ADODB.Command
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim f1 As File
Dim strFilePath As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strFileSize As String
Dim datDateCreated As Date
Dim datDateModified As Date
Dim datDateAccessed As Date
Dim I As Double
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set rst = New ADODB.Command
DoCmd.Hourglass True
' Create a recordset
With rst
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandType = adCmdText
' Create the SQL to delete any records in the table tbl_Files
.CommandText = "DELETE * FROM tbl_Files"
' Delete the records
.Execute
End With
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
' There are over 50 subfolders where the databases reside
' in this My work directory.
.LookIn = "D:\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\My Work"
' I want to search for all files that have .mda, .mdb, .mde
' and .ldb in their name. Place a semicolon between each
' file type so that the FilesSearch will search all that
' you have specified
.FileName = "*.mda; *.mdb; *.mde; *.ldb"
.MatchTextExactly = False
' FileType not required if you are using .FileName
' with an extension
' .FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
' Search all subfolders of My Work
.SearchSubFolders = True
If .Execute() > 0 Then
For I = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set f1 = fso.GetFile(.FoundFiles(I))
strFilePath = f1.ParentFolder
strFileName = f1.Name
strFileSize = f1.Size / 1000 ' Convert to KB
datDateCreated = f1.DateCreated
datDateModified = f1.DateLastModified
datDateAccessed = f1.DateLastAccessed
DoEvents
' SQL statement to insert the data into the tbl_Files
table
rst.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tbl_Files " & _
"(FilePath, FileName, FileSize, DateCreated, " &
_
"DateLastModified, DateLastAccessed) " & _
"SELECT '" & _
strFilePath & "', '" & _
strFileName & " ', " & _
strFileSize & ", #" & _
datDateCreated & "#, #" & _
datDateModified & "#, #" & _
datDateAccessed & "#"
' Insert the record
rst.Execute
Next I
MsgBox "Done. " & .FoundFiles.Count & " Records were added"
Else
MsgBox "No Files Found"
End If
End With

DoCmd.Hourglass False
Set rst = Nothing
Exit Sub
cmdFileObject_ERR:
If Err.Number = 70 Then ' Permission denied
Resume Next
End If
MsgBox Error$
End Sub

Well I'm running Office XP on WXP w/ Service Pack 1.
I can't think of any specific settings which would lead to the exclusion
of the particular databases I'm missing :(

That's interesting, Roz. I just pulled your code out, changed the path
to point to a folder on my machine with mdbs in it, and got a zero for
the FoundFiles count. And I had the same problem with Rocky's sample
database. It has to be a setting that is causing the failures some of us
are experiencing. Now, if we could just figure out what it is ... :o{
Rocky, any suggestions?

Hmm. I ran a variation of Charlotte's code (informed by Rocky's, but
Charlotte's was closer to what I think I want) that looks like this:
Dim varItem As Variant
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.SearchSubFolders = True
.FileName = "*.mdb"
.LookIn = "G:\"
.Execute
'Debug.Print .FoundFiles.Count
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
For Each varItem In .FoundFiles
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblFiles (FileInfo) VALUES ( '" & varItem
& "' )"
'Debug.Print strSQL
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
Next varItem
End With
This gets me the filepath, with name, though not the file size or any
date info. But that's fine, I can live with that.
What's baffling me is that the above drive has 280 .mdb files on it
(yes, I know that's ridiculous, which is the point of the exercise) but
the .FoundFiles.count only returns 152. It doesn't seem to have looked
in any sub folders beginning with 'R'. Is this the sort of whacky
behaviour you guys have experienced?!
