WD2000: FileFind Command Does Not Open Advanced Find Dialog Box

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

The Visual Basic for Applications Dialogs(wdDialogFileFind).Show command opens the Open dialog box, but it does not display the Advanced Find dialog box.

CAUSE

The FileFind command has limited functionality. The Find File dialog box used in earlier versions of Word has been replaced by the Advanced Find feature in Word versions 7.x and later.

RESOLUTION

To use the Advanced Find feature, use the FileSearch property with the PropertyTests collection object to set or retrieve Advanced Find values.
