Issues using wildcards with strings in Dir function VBA - vba

Question

I am currently working on user customisability in VBA while searching through some other workbooks. I am having issues converting my FileName expression in the Dir() function into a path directory with the correct backslash after my folder name, and then using wildcards around File to allow Dir to search for all occurrences of a keyword. Currently I believe the \ is omitted, and I can't yet tell if my wildcards are working
' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
Folder = InputBox("Enter folder directory of files")
' e.g C:\peter\management\Test Folder
File = InputBox("Enter filename keyword")
'e.g. PLACE
' NRow keeps track of where to insert new rows in the destination workbook.
NRow = 1
' Call Dir the first time, pointing it to all Excel files in the folder path.
FileName = Dir(Folder & "\" & "*" & File & "*")
' Loop until Dir returns an empty string.
Do While FileName <> ""
I am assuming my syntax is incorrect for what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT:
' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
Folder = InputBox("Enter folder directory of files")
' e.g C:\peter\management\Test Folder
File = InputBox("Enter filename keyword")
'e.g. PLACE
' NRow keeps track of where to insert new rows in the destination workbook.
NRow = 1
' Call Dir the first time, pointing it to all Excel files in the folder path.
FileName = Dir(Folder & "\" & File & "*" & ".xls")
Debug.Print (FileName)
' Loop until Dir returns an empty string.
Do While FileName <> ""
Is what I am currently working with. The "\" in my Dir line doesn't seem to do anything as I still have to add the final \ before the file manually for it to appear in my error message.

When I tried your code it worked for me. Needless to say, that makes it a little tricky to provide a satisfactory answer!
Below is my attempt to solve the same problem.
Instead of asking the user to manually type the folder address I've used Excel's built-in folder picker. This avoids the need to check for and deal with typos.
Sub FindFiles()
Dim fldDialog As FileDialog ' Holds a reference to the folder picker.
Dim path As String ' Folder selected by user.
Dim fileFilter As String ' Provided by user, wildcard supported.
Dim found As String ' Used to display returned results.
' Config dialog.
Set fldDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
fldDialog.Title = "Pick a folder" ' Caption for dialog.
fldDialog.AllowMultiSelect = False ' Limit to one folder.
fldDialog.InitialFileName = "C:\" ' Default starting folder.
' Display to user.
If fldDialog.Show Then
' Config filter.
path = fldDialog.SelectedItems(1)
fileFilter = InputBox("Select a filter (*.*)", "File filter", "*.*")
' Get results.
found = Dir(path & "\" & fileFilter)
Do Until found = vbNullString
MsgBox found, vbInformation, "File found"
found = Dir()
Loop
Else
MsgBox "User pressed cancel", vbInformation, "Folder picker"
End If
End Sub
