Hi,

I'm trying to find out if a folder contains any files .

The name of the file varies but always contains _XYZ_

How would I find out if there is a file ?

I can do a file that I know the name of :

eg

If dir("\test.xls") = "" then
exit
else
end if

I think the answer is very simple but can't see it at the mo!

Thanks,

Ed
