many thanks. it does work, but I've got another question: as the message
box
returns true or false how can I pass this result to a variable?

Hi Catalin,

Try:
'=============
Public Function FileExists(sPath As String, _
Optional sFName As String) As Boolean
FileExists = Len(Dir(sPath & sFName)) 0
End Function
'<<=============

An example of usage might be:
'=============
Sub TestIt()
MsgBox FileExists("C:\MyFolder\", "aBook.xls")
End Sub
'<<=============
