Interesting fact just spotted... All of the directories it doesn't look in
are those which come after M in the alphabet and are coming from the root
folder, and their sub-directories.
It's as if it gets so far and just stops. Any way to troubleshoot what it's
doing? Why it's breaking?

OK... My original code returns all the files from that directory plus some
files from a couple of other directories we *didn't* ask it to look in...
Your code finds them all spot-on, but only if we specify the lowest level
directory.
Adding the asterisk on the end dint help. :(

OK,
My next question, if you change the .LookIn property to search those
specific directories that the 182 dbs are in, is the program adding them to
the table?
But before you try that, if you haven't already, try this; change the LookIn
property from
.FileName = "*.mda; *.mdb; *.mde; *.ldb"
To
.FileName = "*.mda*; *.mdb*; *.mde*; *.ldb*" ' (place an
asterisk at the end of each ext)

I don't think you silly whatsoever.
The other 128 databases are in directories and subdirectories which sit
alongside those which are successfully being searched (all in one root
directory with no shares or other malarkey involved) There are no different
permissions on any of the folders or databases being ignored versus those
being returned. The user(s) testing the code have full administrator
permissions.

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

modified, and when it was last accessed.

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?!
