Your syntax seems correct. However, look up the find method in this one:

Modify Form Home()+'tools\filer\filer'

It has this:

#define ERR_NOCLASS_LOC "Could not instantiate the Filer COM object. Check to make sure it is registered properly."

...which means the filer is based on a COM thingy, probably a dll, which needs to be included in the build. Try to locate filer.dll and register it manually on that particular box.
