Automating a search

by garydw . Updated 24 years, 7 months ago

I need to perform a search on around half a million Word and Excel documents for a list of around 300 company names.
I thought the easiest way to do this would be to design a small VB program to use the Find Files and Folders mechanism built into windows but I can’t find any information of the Find Files API’s or anything similar.

Is there a better way of doing?
Are there any programs already available which will help?
Are there any VB/VBScript code samples which I can use as a starting point?

Thanks in advance!
