FileSearch problem in Access 2002 runtime 1

[pchpak]

Hi everyone,
I use Application.Filesearch in my app to look for files containing specific words, it works fine in Access 2002 full version (Windows XP). When I create runtime package using MS Packaging Wizard and install it on new Windows XP comp, FileSearch does not work! I do include every possible library (MSACC too) in runtime version, and I did update to Jet 4.0 sp8 on both mashines. Still nothing.

Soon I will pull all my hair out.

Please help me!

A bit late I know but the note at the bottom of this Microsoft article tells it how it is. It doesn't work if you only have a runtime version of Access.

Thanks, I did figure this out. I made a litle .exe that searches all the folders specified in .ini file, then creates a text file listing everything in those folders.
