I'm giving the user the ability to enter a file path (either by typing it or using a common dialog control). I want to validate that the file path the user chooses is a valid one. How would I go about doing this ?

hi there...

2 choices...

use the filesystemobject to see is the path is valid...

use the dir function to see is a valid dir...

try the second one if you are very new to vb.. it have the complete doc. on the msdn.
