Question Help Please


I have created a program which displays a 'terms and conditions' dialogue when the program runs. I want to be able to bypass this dialogue when the user has agreed once. How can I have the program to have the main form (form2) start when a curtain file (C:\LA.dat) exists? (When the user first agrees the dat file is automatically created so the 'terms and conditions' dialogue is not nessesary).

Please excuse my English, Thank you.

You can use the dir function to verify if a file exist.

In your case, you could use...

Code:
if Dir("C:\LA.dat") = "" then 'display the term and condition dialiog end if
