FSO FileExists Method

[David P. Jessup]

I would like to know if I'm correct in the way I coded this:

Function CheckFileExists(sFileName)
If (fs.FileExists(sFileName)) Then
CheckFileExists = True
Else
CheckFileExists = False
End If
End Function

If CheckFileExists(Whichfolder & flindex & ".tif") Then
'java code to display the tif inline with the browser
else
'code stating there is no file to display
End if

I just want to make sure that (Whichfolder & flindex & ".tif") which is an
actual file path is what is being passed to the Function CheckFileExists as
sFileName

Thanks from this ASP Newbie

Hi David,

That should work, although you don't really have to encapsulate it in a
function like that. You can just do:


If fs.FileExists("C:\Path\file.xt") Then
'''code
Else
'''code
End If

You could always check with some basic debugging:


Function CheckFileExists(sFileName)
response.write "Filename is " & sFileName
...
