Check whether file exist in computer, ask for help!

[kuzure]

Dear friends,

I need to use VB6 to check whether the file is existing in my computer. How can I do it?

I had search this similar topic in this forum. Although I found one, thats not working at all. Perhaps, there is still other ways.

Best Regards.

In VB6 and VBA you use the Dir function. If you type Dir in your code & press F1, the help file will tell you how to use it. Here's a simple example.

    Dim sFileSpec As String
    sFileSpec = "C:\Documents and Settings\Sam\My Documents\Test.txt"
    If Dir(sFileSpec) = "" Then
        MsgBox "Test.txt does not exist"
    End If

Plus, if the other solution you tried, which didn't work, was using the FileSystemObject, then to make it work you probably need to add “Microsoft Scripting Runtime” in References, under your Project menu.
