FileExists in VS 2005 VB always returns false
I'm having issues with a simple FileExist check in old VS 2005 VB project that I need to make som alterations to.
The check for a file always returs false - not matter if I use
Dir("c:\")
or
My.Computer.FileSystem.Fil
Any help would be much appreciated

Hmm, now it also Work with backslash - I'm confused :)
Bojerene,
In order it to work you need to define the file name in it which was missing once you define the file name and check for len that way you can trap whether file is their or not...
