    [RESOLVED]Access, Check Dir Existence, Make Dir, CopyFile

    Hello Im doing my project well with ur great help. I have a problem with checking if dir/file on Server exist. I use ODBC and my connectivy is working. I use code to check if DIR exist.

    Code:
    If Dir("\\Servername\Dirname\") <> "" Then

        MsgBox "It Exists!"

    Else

        MsgBox "No Go!"

    End If
    It works for C:\ etc. Im really confused about that. Ofc i can see Dir's on server from explorer. Any ideas?

    you must specify to return directories as well as files
    vb Code:
    1. If Dir("\\Servername\Dirname\", vbDirectory) <> "" Then
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    And if you don't know what it is you could try...
    vb Code:
    1. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

    2.     Dim sDir As String

    3.     sDir = "\\Servername\Dirname\"

    4.     If Len(Dir(sDir, vbDirectory)) Then

    5.         If (GetAttr(sDir) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then

    6.           MsgBox sDir & " does exist and is a FOLDER"

    7.         Else

    8.           MsgBox sDir & " does exist and is a FILE"

    9.         End If

    10.     Else

    11.         MsgBox sDir & " does not exist as anything."

    12.     End If

    13. End Sub
