Through in a DoEvents somewhere to allow the system time to process the
request...particularly if working with network folders....

Hi Doris
It looked like it might work
But It tells me the Folder Exists even when I delete it???

If I msgbox the line Len(Dir(me.PathToDownloadTo)) 

It gives me 0 (That's a zero) both before and even after I delete the folder

Any suggestions?

Many thnks

Darren

If Len(Dir(me.PathToDownloadTo)) > 0 Then
	MsgBox "Folder Doesn't Exist"
Else
	MsgBox "Folder exists"
End If

Hello all
This should be simple but it's causing me pain I have a folder (It does
exist) C:\SomeFolder\SomeSubFolder\TheDestination

If I type the following code and 'run' it

If IsNull(Dir(Me.PathToDownloadTo)) Or Dir(Me.PathToDownloadTo) = "" Then
        MsgBox "Folder Doesn't Exist"
    Else
        MsgBox "Folder exists"
    End If

It still tells me the folder doesn't exist even though it does

What is a 'proper' way to tell if a folder exists

Many thanks in advance

Darren
