Saving new image files

[Trancedified]

Hello,

I have a function that checks to see if an image file exists on the harddrive:

Private Function DoesExist(ByVal strName As String) As Boolean
    On Error GoTo Errorhandler ' goto error handler if file doesn't exist
    Dim sFile As Long
    sFile = FreeFile() 'get a free file #
    Open strName For Input As sFile
    Close sFile
    DoesExist = True 'return if file was opened
    Exit Function
Errorhandler:
    DoesExist = False 'return false if error occured - meaning file was NOT found
End Function

Here is the function I'm trying to write so that if the file does exist, then create the same one but add (1), (2), etc. to the end of the file right before the .bmp extension.

The label boxes (which is already populated) is used in naming this image file.

Private Function SaveSixPack2()
    
    If DoesExist("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & ".bmp") = False Then
        SavePicture Picture13.Picture, ("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & ".bmp")
    End If
    If DoesExist("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & ".bmp") = False Then
        Exit Function
    Else
        SavePicture Picture13.Picture, ("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & "(" & "1" & ")" & ".bmp")
    End If
    If DoesExist("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & "(" & "1" & ")" & ".bmp" & "C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & ".bmp") = False Then
        Exit Function
    Else
        SavePicture Picture13.Picture, ("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & "(" & "2" & ")" & ".bmp")
    End If
End Function

So my problem is: the first two "If DoesExists" work but the last one doesn't for some reason..... any suggestions?


Thanks!'

Try replacing the last one with this:

If Not DoesExist("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & "(" & "1" & ")" & ".bmp" & "C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & ".bmp") = False Then
        SavePicture Picture13.Picture, ("C:\SixPackImages\" & Generator.lblSixCR.Caption & "-" & "SixPack" & "(" & "2" & ")" & ".bmp")
    End If
