hi,
how can i check for file existance in a virtual path ?
eg. http://www.yourserver.com/someDirectory/file.doc

thanks

Do you want to check the existence of files in the virtual path of your own application ? If yes,you can use the following code.

Dim objFileSystem
Set objFileSystem = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if(objFileSyste.FileExists(Server.MapPath(<relativ e path of file>))) then
    Response.Write "File exists"
else
    Response.Write "File does not exist"
end if

<relative path of file> is the path of the file (to be checked) in relation to virtual directory.

If you want to check the existence of file at a different server, you need to use adodb stream object. Please see the following post.

i replaced <relative path of file> with "http://www.yourserver.com/someDirectory/file.doc"
and after running the script it says "object required: 'server'. Code: 800A01A8.

any idea?

Looks to me as if you're using VB6!?

madhukp's code should work in .NET if you use '/someDirectory/file.doc' provided it's on your own machine/server.

i am new to VB, but how can i run this code in office macro?

any help??

Sorry! But try to describe which applications you are using, what you have achieved until now and if you're talking Office, post your question in a Wrox vba forum.

i am using MS word. i want to have a macro that can check for file existance in a virtual path.
eg. http://www.yourserver.com/someDirectory/file.doc

any help?
