You can give this a subroutine a try...

Sub MyTestFileExists()
Dim C As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3")
For Each C In .Range("A1:A" & .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
If Dir(C.Text) = "" Then
C.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Does not exist"
Else
C.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Exists"
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

There is no need to specify the range... it will automatically look from
A1 to the last used row in Column A.

Hi,

XL 2003

I found the following code from the newsgroup to check if a file exists
in a particular folder.


Sub MyTestFileExists()
Dim FName As String
FName = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Text
If Dir(FName) = "" Then
Range("B1").Value = "Does not exist"
Else
Range("B1").Value = "Exists"
End If
End Sub

Code works great for one file.

Is it possible to amend this code to loop through a dynamic range,
(currently A1:A200, but will grow) to identify each filename and place
the results in the adjacent cell in column B (B1:B200)?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
