SIFNOk asked:

Open original thread
Hi All,

i was wondering if anyone could assist. i have a form with 2 listbox, that allows user to enter in a directory path that is then populated in to the listbox1. I have a button on the form that i want to be able to press which cycle through the listbox items and checks if the directory exists.

i was thinking it would be something along the lines of :
VB
For Each something In listbox1

if system.io.file.exist(somethinghere2) = false then
      'in second listbox display missing directory
    listbox2.item.add("does not exist " & somethinghere2)
     else
        'if the directory does exist
       'do nothing
end if

   Next


this is for purpose to help me with my job, so i dont have to manually check if users have deleted directories overnite.... im not much of a programmer but any help would be great.

  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
