It does work in 2003, but does not in 2007. Your variable ...

..filename = "S:\list_file.xls"

.... should be ...

..Filename = "list_file.xls"
..LookIn = "S:\"

HTH

Thanks.

It runs without error in 2003 but give me wrong result:
the file does not exist!!
(The same code run in 97 without any error and give me correct result!)

If I use .LookIn
it give me "compile error: Invalid use of property"...

Sorry, my mistake, forgot the "=" after ".LookIn"
but why I have to use ".LookIn"?

Thanks!

You don't have to use the LookIn property. It's been a while since I used
the FileSearch method (mostly because I'm predominantly 2007 now) but if you
didn't specify where to look you may be off in la-la land looking for the
file(s).
