Valid File Name

[QWERTY]

Is there a way to check if some string is a valid file name without bunch of if's or select case statements?

You will hear a lot about it.

If you are trying to find out if the file exists, then use this:

Module Code:
Public Function FileExist(ByVal FileName As String) As Boolean
If Dir(FileName, vbNormal) <> "" Then
FileExists = True
Else
FileExists = False
End If
End Function


That is untested, but should work.

Thanks for your reply but I'm not trying to find out if file exists. I'm trying to find out if user typed a valid file name (ex. qwerty.txt - valid, *.txt - invalid)
