Within our WAN we have several domains, how can I specify my filesearch.lookin to search in a different domain?

Also, it searches fine through c:\Folder1 and \\Server1\Folder1, but .lookin = "\\server1" doesnt work, and neither does .lookin = "\\server2" or .lookin = "c:\"

The help file in access didn't really help. Am I doing something wrong?

All lessons learned from the School of Hard Knocks........at least tuition is cheap.
 
Hallo,

When you specify a machine name, you have to specify a domain as well.

ie \\machinename\domain

Just machinename isn't enough.
If you know the domain names, use them. If you don't then 'they' probably don't want you searching in them :)
