How to check IF new folder has any workbooks in it.
 

Hi,

Every month I run macros which populate the latest months folder. I
wish to run a macro to test whether I have ran this macro yet this
month. So I thought of running a macro that tried to call up a known
file from that folder and if a file is there, a MsgBox returns "Macro
already ran this month".

However if I run it and nothing is there, becuase I asked for the
designated workbook to be there, it will cause a debug error.

How do I get round this (I thought with an If statement)

Thanks in advance :-)

You can use Dir to test if the file is there

If Dir("C:\Testfolder\ron.xls") < "" Then
'is there
Else
'not there
End If
