[RESOLVED] idea anyone?

[stevevb6]

i have a bit of a problem and am not sure how to fix it. right now, my program searches for a file "C:\lfs.rtc", if that file does not exist, the program crashes.the user creates the file with my program and my program shells the first line in the file. I am not sure what to do. any ideas?

Trap the error and handle it the way you want it handled.

Show your code.

You can test if a file xists using the Dir function.

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Dim strFile() As String
    Dim i As Integer
        Open "C:\lfs.rtc" For Input As #1
        strFile = Split(Input$(LOF(1), 1), vbNewLine)
    Close #1
       For i = 0 To UBound(strFile)
    Shell strFile(i), vbNormalFocus
    Next
    
    End Sub

i fixed the crash, but i still get an error. The crash was an error and i had the program close when the other one is launched.
