Dim fl As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set fl = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject").GetFile("C:\SomeFolder\SomeFile.xlsx")
On Error Goto 0
If fl Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "File doesn't exist"
Else
MsgBox "File Does Exist"
End If
There will also be the Windows API route (the FileSystemObject encapsulates the API functions I believe so you could argue you are using them when you use the FileSystemObject).
i did find out another way to find if file exist or not with getattr(Path & FileName) and have a error handler. if err.number = 53 or err.description = "file not found".
