Checking a script exists externally

[StooJ]

Is there any way of checking to see whether a script exists or not using a vbasic script (or similar)?

At the moment I'm thinking of running the script and immediately checking the status (ScriptStatus) for a return value of 2, but I feel there ought to be a better way of doing this.

Is there?

I'm using FM6 for this at the moment, but I don't think the automation has changed much since then, has it?

Many thanks.

"status (ScriptStatus)"

I don't remember this in FMP 6.

Why not use the ScriptNames( filename ) function?

Could capture errors in your script. just call the filemaker script and if it is not there it should generate an error. I have rarely done this but is possible. In vbs the command is "ONERROR (something)"

OnError Resume Next just ignores the error or I believe you can call a sub function to preform whatever actions you want.
