Hi:

I had Excel within Microsoft Office 2000 Pro, now I'm using Office XP pro,
in Excel, I used to search for files by just putting in the first three
numbers or letters of the file name and then Excel will give me all the
matching files, but in Excel XP, nothing happens and search does not provide
any files to choose from, do you know what is the problem?

Many thanks!
 
Hi Aymanh

Tip from Dave Peterson
*********************
Try adding some wild cards. If you're looking for mybook1.xls and want to
search for "book", type in:

*book*

Hit enter and you'll see those files with just "book" in them.

It's an extra enter key, but after a little while, you'll forget how the
previous versions worked!
