Looping a code through a folder of workbooks with VBA?

I have a folder with a number of excel files all with the same format. I have modified the following code to determine the date and reformat it, where "i" determines the number of cells in the range based on the last row of column 2.

Sub Test()
   Dim i As Long
   i = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
   With Range("K3:K" & i)
        .Formula = "=DATE(A3,G3,H3)"
        .NumberFormat = "ddmmmyyyy"
   End With  
End Sub

I would like to perform this code on all the workbooks in my folder. I have found the following question on stackoverflow:

Code for looping through all excel files in a specified folder, and pulling data from specific cells

It does not loop through all my files, and only works on the first excel file I have opened. How can I loop this code through all workbooks in a folder? Below is what I have so far.

Sub Test()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim wbResults As Workbook
Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
Dim i As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

On Error Resume Next
    Set wbCodeBook = ThisWorkbook
        With Application.FileSearch
            .NewSearch

            .LookIn = "C:\Test"
            .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks

                If .Execute > 0 Then
                    For lCount = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count

                        Set wbResults = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=.FoundFiles(lCount), UpdateLinks:=0)

   i = wbResults.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(wbResults.Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
   With wbResults.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("K3:K" & i)
        .Formula = "=DATE(A3,G3,H3)"
        .NumberFormat = "ddmmmyyyy"
   End With

                        wbResults.Close SaveChanges:=False
                    Next lCount
                End If
        End With
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Application.FileSearch doesn't supported by Excel 2007 and later. Try this code (code for looping through files in a folder was taken from @mehow's site)

Sub PrintFilesNames()
    Dim file As String
    Dim wbResults As Workbook
    Dim i As Long
    Dim myPath As String

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False

    myPath = "D:\" ' note, path ends with back slash

    file = Dir$(myPath & "*.xls*")

    While (Len(file) > 0)
        Set wbResults = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=myPath & file, UpdateLinks:=0)

        With wbResults.Worksheets(Split(file, ".")(0))
            i = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
            With .Range("K3:K" & i)
                 .Formula = "=DATE(A3,G3,H3)"
                 .NumberFormat = "ddmmmyyyy"
            End With
        End With

        wbResults.Close SaveChanges:=True
        'get next file
        file = Dir
    Wend

    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
