Description

Returns True if a specified file exists; False if it does not.

Syntax

object.FileExists(filespec)

The FileExists method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
filespec	Required. The name of the file whose existence is to be determined. A complete path specification (either absolute or relative) must be provided if the file isn't expected to exist in the current folder.

Remarks

The following example illustrates use of the FileExists method:

Function ReportFileStatus(filespec)
  Dim fso, msg
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then
    msg = filespec & " exists."
  Else
    msg = filespec & " doesn't exist."
  End If
  ReportFileStatus = msg
End Function
