I can use a custom function "PathExists" (courtesy of jwalk) to indicate that
I am mapped to a directory, but how can I test if I have access to that
folder?

Any help would be appreciated.

Try something like this

=pathexists("C:")

Maybe just trying to create a file (a text file) would be sufficient. You could
kill it if you created it.

But there are different levels of rights, too. Read Only, Read/Write,
Read/Write/Create, Read/Write/Create/Delete. You may want to test all the
things you need to use.

Think Dave gave you some good advice on how to check.

This article will give some insights into one of the alternatives:
