Is it possible and if so, how?
Would like to have code to verify that a file name in a same directory matches with the file name in a table/ field. If it matches then run the rest of the code, if not prompt with error.
Can someone give me some pointer how this should be written
Thanks for any help you could offer

Found something that may work. -
Dim fso
-
Dim file As String
-
file = strXLFile ' change to match the file w/Path
-
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
-
If Not fso.FileExists(file) Then
-
MsgBox file & " was not located.", vbInformation, "File Not Found"
-
Else
-
MsgBox file & " has been located.", vbInformation, "File Found"
-
End If
-
Still open to any other suggestions

I would start with the field value in the table. The current folder can be found from CurrentProject. FullName if you remove the name part. Add the value from the field to this and use the Dir() function to determine if it does indeed exist.
Using FileSystemObjec t is an alternative, but I would say it's more complicated and requires a library reference which is less standard than the VBA one which is common to all projects.
@NeoPa
Excellent Suggestion...
I am trying the following and it works -
-
If Len(Dir(strXLFile)) = 0 Then
-
MsgBox "Could not find " & strXLFileName & ", Check the " & strCurrentDir & " Folder and the Paths Setup to be sure the file names match.", vbInformation, "File Not Found"
-
GoTo Exit_Sub
-
Else
-
'Continue through the code
-
End If
-

Glad you got it working Tim. I'd suggest replacing line #5 (Else) with line #7 (End If), but that's just semantics.

I have an A97 table with a Yes/No field named
TowJob and a form bound to that table. The
TowJob control on the form is bound to the same
field. It is an option group with Yes and No bttns
valued at -1 and 0 respectively.
Unless I specifically set the table field's defaultvalue
to Null, the form comes up with an automatic value
of 0 in the control? The control has NO default
value property setting. Why is that?

Hello All,
Is it possible to change table field lookup properties in code?
I've been able to change other field properties in code, however so far
no luck with field lookup properties. What I've done for test purposes

thought that I'd start first by just changing the 'Display Control'
property. Thanks to Allen Browne for some ideals per...

I have a web application where the user can type the name of a file name in a field. I want to make
sure the syntax of that filename is valid before using it.
I browsed the methods in various .Net 2.0 framework assemblies and there does not seem to be any to
validate the syntax of a string representing a filename.
Is there a method I can use to validate the syntax of a NTFS file name?

I am trying to develop an app where: the same file, in the same place,
will be uploaded, and then processed.
Everything I can find about uploading a file, uses a form that requires
the user to either manually enter the path and file name, or to browse
for the file. I do not want that. Ideally, I want the user to click on
a link, and the server side php app does the rest. Again, the file
always has the same name, and is in the same place....

We are rewriting the libc for the 64 bit version of lcc-win

fopen() will save the file name and an accessor function
will return the file name given a FILE *.

What would be the best name for this function?
