Check if folder exists, if yes just copy sheet in to folder?
Hi all, I have the code below that copies all visible WorkSheets to a new folder and renames the sheets, however i am struggling with the fact that if the folder exists the code stops and shows a Path error, how can i modify the code to check if folder exists, if it does just copy the worksheet with the DateString in to that folder? All help greatly appreciated!

You can use Dir to check for the existence of a folder:
Function FolderExists(strPath As String) As Boolean FolderExists = (Dir(strPath, vbDirectory) < "") End Function Andrew Simon Lloyd wrote: Hi all, I have the code below that copies all visible WorkSheets to a new folder and renames the sheets, however i am struggling with the fact that if the folder exists the code stops and shows a Path error, how can i modify the code to check if folder exists, if it does just copy the worksheet with the DateString in to that folder?

One way, replace: MkDir FolderName with On Error Resume Next MkDir FolderName On Error Goto 0 --- Regards, Norman "Simon Lloyd" wrote in message ...

Thanks Norman, worked a treat, i was just having trouble if someon clicked the button to save the sheets twice i had all sorts of errors i have added a time satmp as well as a date stamp so it won't throw a error up if the file already exists in the folder! Andrew thansks for your response too, it just wasn't quite what needed to incorporate without writing a few more lines of code....i' usless at it and it takes me ages with trial and error!
