When I first time execute application.filesearch it seeks correctly. but on latter searches it uses prebuilt index and keep looking in that path.even though I have moved file to inner directory. I have to leave the program for 15-20 mins then perhaps it clears it cache and works. I am not getting how to clear its cache. code is like this.pls help

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = PerformanceBook.Path
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = "omsTimes.csv"
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If (.Execute(SortBy:=msoSortByLastModified, SortOrder:=msoSortOrderAscending, AlwaysAccurate:=True) <> 0) Then

Appears to me that your not defining you path statement. The "lookin"
statement should be something like .LookIn = "C:\My Documents".

I ahve used .lookin . But I am facing this problems

when I move files to inner directory and then run my application.filesearch it still keeps tells location of files as previous one. If I restart the machine and leave it for half an hour then it tells correct location of files. It keeps the result cached and some how I have to clear it.

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
.LookIn = PerformanceBook.Path
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = "omsTimes.csv"
If (.Execute(SortBy:=msoSortByLastModified, SortOrder:=msoSortOrderAscending) <> 0) Then

fcount = .FoundFiles.count
For count = 1 To .FoundFiles.count
allcsvfiles(count) = .FoundFiles.Item(count)
Next count
End If
End With

Regarding your message left on dbforums.com about FileSearch keeping old files in some type of cache, I found that I had the same problem until I turned off indexing service with my "Search Companion" in Windows Explorer. Then the following lines worked.

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.FileName = "*.txt"
.LookIn = xPath
.Execute
xTotalFiles = .FoundFiles.Count
End With

For i = 1 To xTotalFiles
.
.
.
Next i

Hope this helps.

Nice one, Turning off the indexing service solved my issues. Found this page with a quick google so many thanks Mike.
