    FileExists

    How can I (gracefully ) check and handle (if it does not exist) that a file exists before opening it, without using FSO's?




    FileExists Method


    Description

    Returns True if a specified file exists; False if it does not.

    Syntax

    object.FileExists(filespec)

    The FileExists method syntax has these parts:

    Part Description
    object Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
    filespec Required. The name of the file whose existence is to be determined. A complete path specification (either absolute or relative) must be provided if the file isn't expected to exist in the current folder.

    Easier.
    You can check for files or folders

    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Private Sub Form_Load()
      If Dir("d:\temp\alexa.jpg") = "" Then Beep
    End Sub

    vbNullString instead of ""

    If it wasn't for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL.
