Public Function FileExists(strPath As String) As Integer

FileExists = Not (Dir(strPath) = "")

End Function

Or use filesystem object(add the Microsoft Scripting Runtime reference to the project)


dim objfso as FileSystemObject
Set objfso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

if objfso.FileExists(objfso.BuildPath(strDirectory,strFileName)) then
msgbox "File exists"
else
msgbox "File does not exist"
end if

Unless you have multiple uses for FileSystemObject it shouldn't be an option as when you package your application you will have to add the extra baggage of the dll for the FSO. (scrrun.dll)
