I dont have MSDN, can you pls show the code here?
VB Code: Dim fso as fileSystemObject msgbox fso.fileExists("C:\whateverfile.whatever") You need a reference from your project to Microsoft Scripting Runtime library.
Dim fso as fileSystemObject msgbox fso.fileExists("C:\whateverfile.whatever")

Thank you skald2k! I'll give your code a try...
VB Code: If Dir$([i]path[/i]) <> "" Then 'The File Exists Else 'The File Does Not Exist End If
If Dir$([i]path[/i]) <> "" Then 'The File Exists Else 'The File Does Not Exist End If
