To check if a file exists or not use FileExists from the FileSystemObject of VBS. It returns a boolean result indicating whether the requested file is there or not. See the example below.<br><br> Set FSys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"
<br> if Not FSys.FileExists("C:\Filename.txt" Then<br> ...<br><br>You may also be interested in the VBS documentation, available to download as an exe from the Microsoft site. Its called vbsdoc.exe and has a good tutorial on the FileSystem Object.
