Where am I (and the author of Help text!) going wrong.  
Thanks

Public Sub t5()
Dim fs As FileSearch

Set fs = Application.FileSearch
fs.NewSearch
With fs.PropertyTests
    .Add name:="Files of Type", _
        Condition:=msoConditionFileTypeWordDocuments, _
        Connector:=msoConnectorOr
    .Add name:="Last Modified", _
        Condition:=msoConditionAnytimeBetween, _
        Value:="1/1/98", SecondValue:="6/30/98", _
        Connector:=msoConnectorAnd
End With

End Sub

Which line of code is highlighted when the error hits?

I have a suspicion that it is this one

     .Add name:="Last Modified", _
         Condition:=msoConditionAnytimeBetween, _
         Value:="1/1/98", SecondValue:="6/30/98", _
         Connector:=msoConnectorAnd

If so, then the most likely cause is that you are getting US and UK date
formats mixed up. Try setting SecondValue to "30/6/98"

You are correct that this is the line of code that is failing.    
There is something{*filter*}y going on - I have office 2000 without SR1, maybe
I need to install that before proceeding further.   In more detail

 - my saved version has the line
        Value:="1/1/70", SecondValue:="9/1/00", _
   When I ran it after starting Word it went through listing files as I  
   wanted

 - I changed another module as part of something else and lo
   the "Invalid procedure call or argument started.

Hi Andrew,

Try using 4-digit years in the dates.
