Verifying folder exists (local and network) 1

[beedubau]

I am using a routine

setfileattrib
* Author: William GC Steinford 2003
* Takes a file and a list of attributes to change on the file, and does the change

to confirm that a folder exists as a list of paths has been saved containing a 'project' - some of which might no longer exist.

This involves writing to a file in the folder.

Is there another way of testing for existence of a folder? Under Vista I may not be able to write to that folder.

Regards
Bryan

you could use windows scripting host WSH

fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
? fso.FolderExists("c:\windows")
? fso.FolderExists("c:\windows2")
first one returns .t.
second one returns .f.

? DIRECTORY("C:\windows")
? DIRECTORY("C:\windows2")
