Checking Set of Files exist in the specific Path

  • Hi everyone,


    Seeking some help on below;


    i have created a Userform with Listbox, Textbox & Lable

    the Listbox shows the list of files are folder based on the path mentioned in Textbox.

    the Dir Path is well restricted and Textbox is not Visible so that user cannot go to desired path.


    Now in a Sheet (eg: Sheet7(i + 1, 1) ) i have list of Mandatory files a Folder should have to consider as Completed.

    if those files exist no matter what extension the Lable caption as Complete else Lable Caption as InComplete.



    Can some one Please Help me on this.


    Thanks alot.

  • Hi,


    To test if file exists, you can use following UDF


    Code
    Function FileExists(FileName As String) As Boolean
         FileExists = (Dir(FileName) > "")
    End Function


    Hope this will help

  • Appreciate if you can explain how this works please....

  • When using the function FileExists()


    You need to use the full file name (including the path) inside the function to define the variable FileName


    As a result, you will get either True or False ...


    Hope this clarifies
