Check if file or folder *RESOLVED*

[Darkolord]

Hello,
I need to check if a path specified is file or folder/volume... all "FileExists" functions I found return True if I pass them a folder path... how do I check if path is folder or file?

thanks in advance,
Darko

If you have at least IE4, you can use PathIsDirectory...

Private Declare Function PathIsDirectory Lib "shlwapi.dll" Alias "PathIsDirectoryA" (ByVal sPath As String) As Long
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox CBool(PathIsDirectory("c:\users"))
End Sub

Perfect...

thanks!

Or you can do :

Dir$(FilePath, vbDirectory)

to see if it's a valid dir... Although the API way is definatelly better
