FolderExists Method 

Returns True if a specified folder exists; False if it does not.

object.FolderExists(folderspec) 

Arguments

• object
  Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

• folderspec
  Required. The name of the folder whose existence is to be determined. A complete path specification (either absolute or relative) must be provided if the folder isn't expected to exist in the current folder.

The following example illustrates the use of the FileExists method.

function ReportFolderStatus(fldr)

{

   var fso, s = fldr;

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

   if (fso.FolderExists(fldr))

      s += " exists.";

   else 

      s += " doesn't exist.";

   return(s);

}

Function ReportFolderStatus(fldr)

   Dim fso, msg

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   If (fso.FolderExists(fldr)) Then

      msg = fldr & " exists."

   Else

      msg = fldr & " doesn't exist."

   End If

   ReportFolderStatus = msg

End Function
