if folder contains file

Is there a way to know if the folder contains a file, in this case a JPEG file.

yes, you can use the dir() function to look at a directory using '*.jpg'. If it returns a zero-length string then its empty of jpegs, else the is at least one present

Try this:

If Len(Dir("c:\file.jpg")) <> 0 Then 'Your file excists

Yeah,

http://www.allapi.net/

has a function called GetFiles or something like that. I grabbed it and modified it for my purposes, but my modifications include about 3 jillion private fucntions.

You should be able to get the code from them and modify it easily for your purposes.

Ok thanx m8's

I wouldn't use an API for this, because you can check if a file excist with one simple line of code. Look what I did posted and check what it does... Much easier :)

if there is a way to look if a file excists there must also be a way to look if a directory excists can someone tell me how?? and if the directory does not excist it should create it

Once again, use the Dir$ function.
Dir$("C:\Program Files", vbDirectory)
