Dir function
Friends,
I have been using the following function for Checking if the file exists. Public Function FileExists(ByVal sPathAndFileName$)as boolean FileExists = (Dir(sPathAndFileName)<"") End Function Today for the first time I found that the function worked if the filename part passed to the function matched the case of the file stored in the folder but did not work if the capitalization was not correct. I beleive that the Dir function is not case sensitive. What is happening then? Thanks. Alok |

Dir function
The file path and file name was
Z:\CMI\CMGWorksheet\MasterProtocolMultiV6.xls As I am writing this I am thinking whether it had something to do with drive mapping? Alok RB Smissaert wrote: What was the exact full path of that file?
