[RESOLVED] Check for a file in app directory

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to make it so when a user presses a command button it checks to see if there is a file for example "file.exe" in the same folder as the application and if the file is in their (file.exe) then it will load form 2. But if the file aint fount it gives them a msgbox "File.exe was not found please download file.exe before continuing"


thanks

Here is an example. Modify it to suit your individual needs

vb Code:

If Dir$("c:\autoexec.bat") <> vbNullString Then
   MsgBox "file exists"
Else
   MsgBox "file doesn't exist"
End If
End Sub

vb Code:

Sub Sample()
    Dim FlName As String
    
    '~~> Replace with Relevant File name
    FlName = Dir(App.Path & "MyFile.Exe")
    
    If (FlName) <> "" Then
        '~~> File is there
        Form2.Load
    Else
        '~~> File is not there
        MsgBox "File Doesn't Exist"
    End If
End Sub

Edit: Ah! Hack beat me to it...

Awesome!!

Thanks guys, Really appreciate it!

All the best,
