Newbie: Find if a file existsHi,
the solutions on the net are not very satisfactory after my search. Maybe i missed something. Is there a surefire way to determine wether a file exists or not ? Any links would be appreciated! (actually what would be really nice would be to "remember" the name AND size of the file in order to determine if the user opens the same file, even if the file's path has changed. But thats a bit too much) TIA -steve smith wrote:

FileExists site:vbnet.mvps.org 1) It shows a great site to search for things (ie, vbnet.mvps.org). 2) It shows how to search a specific site using google.com. 3) The first link google displays, answers your question, I hope. 4) The same method could be used to find a FolderExists also. Hope this helps. -- Jim Carlock Post replies to the newsgroup, thanks. "smith" <jsm***@yahoo.ca> wrote: the solutions on the net are not very satisfactory after my search.
