Hi everyone,
I have a macro that creates a file called "Times.xlsx" in the same folder the excel doc is in.
I'd like to check if its already been created before running the macro.
so I need a bit a the beginning that can look an this workbook filepath and see if a folder called "Tomes.xlsx" is present if it is give me a message box saying "File already exists" and exit sub, if not carry on.
please help if you can.

thanks

Tony

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Code:
Dim s$: s = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Times.xlsx"
If Dir(s) <> "" Then
    MsgBox "File already exists"
    Exit Sub
End If
