check for file exists

[Inky Phil]

Is there any way I can check if an FM file exists in a folder external to my main solution folder.

TIA

Could you do this with a webviewer window pointing to the folder and then get the contents of the folder with an object attributes calc? (PC only ofcourse)

Sorry just noticed your profile is v8 not v8.5

On a Windows box, you can use the command line to create a file containing the directory of a file path and import the contents to a global field.

cmd /c dir *.fp7 >dir.txt

Import Records

Thanks for your replies but I was hoping for a simple check within a script.

I have since found that error code 100 is 'file is missing' so I should be able to run a benign script step that references the file and immediately check the error code

Thanks again

... If a referenced file is missing, it shows an annoying dialog, and makes you find the file, no way to stop it even with error capture on from my experience
