refer
http://vblib.virtualave.net

there is a function call IsFileExist in vbFileIO class.

from there, you would probably find out how to crate your own function to check the directory existance.

hope this help.

An easiest way -provided you know what you are looking for- is the following:
if dir("myfile.exe")<>"" then... 'the file exists, or there is a directory with same name as file
if dir("mydir",vbdirectory)<>"" then... 'a directory exists
