Hi,

I am new to writing loop statements so I apologize if this is a previous topic but I could not find anything pertinent before posting.

I have a loop statement that reads from a file and loops. It brings in specified files from a location in the loop. Can I have this loop skip over a file if it does not exist in the folder? The below works as is unless I do not have one of the specified files in the folder. ie it calls for files 1-5 but i only have files 1, 2, 3 & 5.

Code:
Public Function loopTable()

    Dim strSQL As String
    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    
    ' Define TableFields
    Dim ImprtSpec, TblNm, FileNm As String
    
    
    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Tbl_Data"
    Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
    
    If Not rs.BOF And Not rs.EOF Then
        rs.MoveFirst
        While (Not rs.EOF)
        
            ImprtSpec = rs.Fields("ImportSpecNm") 'define the field you want to return data
            TblNm = rs.Fields("TableName")
            FileNm = rs.Fields("FileName")
            
  DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, ImprtSpec, TblNm, Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\" & FileNm, True
          
  Debug.Print rs.Fields("FileName")
