Is there such a thing? If not, how do I find out if a file exists using Visual Basic for Applications (in Excel)?

Never mind, I got it! I was thinking of Delphi (I think). Just use the Dir() command.

You can also use Application.FileSearch, it depends which one you think is easier.

Well would you look at that! That's simplified the task ten-fold! :)

Dir is the vb way to test if a file or directory exists.

Or use Scripting.FileSystemObject.

i.e.

Code: 
Dim FSO As FileSystemObject

Set FSO = New FileSystemObject

If FSO.FileExists(&quot;<path to file&quot;) Then
     ' Code on existence of file.
End If
