Using win98, Excel 2000 and VBA 6.0 Here is: I'm doing a check on two files (they don't exist on the specifed locations)... so for the first line, I'm getting an error "file not found"... and is handled by the error trap... but when it goes on the second line... it bugs... and i'm getting an error message "error 53, file not found" which is not what i'm looking for ... of course... should be handled by the error_trap too since it's the same error, isn't it ??? what's wrong ? cheers, good4u... here is the code i'm using: VB: Sub test2() [b]On Error Goto Err_Trap:[/b] If (GetAttr("c:\xxxxxxxx.doc") And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then Cells(1, 1).Select End If [b]here:[/b] If (GetAttr("c:\zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.bmp") And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then Cells(1, 2).Select End If [b]Err_Trap:[/b] If Err.Number = "53" Then Goto here End If End Sub Last edited by royUK; December 4th, 2005 at 15:07.

attribute code returned in x& is a standard operating system attribute code, or a https://www.powerbasic.com/help/pbcc/getattr_function.htm combination of several codes ORed together: Attribute Description Equate 0 Normal* %NORMAL 1 Read-only %READONLY 2 Hidden %HIDDEN 4 System %SYSTEM 8 Volume https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/128622/error-when-opening-file-that-doesn-t-exist Label %VLABEL 16 Directory %SUBDIR 32 Archived %ARCHIVE 128 Normal* (synonym of %NORMAL) * Some operating systems may return either 0 or 128 error 53 for normal files. If GETATTR returns an attribute of 0 (or 128), filespec$ is a regular file: not read-only, not hidden, not system, and not archived. Additional file attributes may be supported on some file systems. See the %FILE_ATTRIBUTE equates in your WinNT.inc file for a runtime error 53 full list. If you want to test for a single attribute, use the bitwise AND operatorto strip out any other attributes that might be set. See the example below. GETATTR can also be used to verify the existence of a file or directory, taking advantage of the fact that ERR will be set if the file/directory does not exist. See the example below. Restrictions If filespec$ cannot be found, a run-time Error53 ("File not found") occurs. You cannot obtain the attributes of the root directory (i.e., "C:\"). Windows prevents this particular operation, triggering an Error 53. See also DIR$, FILEATTR, ISFILE, PATHSCAN$, SETATTR Example ' General GETATTR example attr& = GETATTR("C:\CONFIG.SYS") IF (attr& AND 32&) = 32& THEN x$ = "CONFIG.SYS has been modified" ELSE x$ = "CONFIG.SYS hasn't been modified" END IF
open a basic 1 line settings text file but I want it (for first time users) to create the file if it doesn't exist, but I can't open the file without getting an error. How do I go about creating this file if it doesn't exist? At present I have this for the opening/reading of the file, but as soon as it hits the line with the open command it gets Runtime Error 53 'File not found': Private Sub Form_Load() Dim content As String Open "H:\settings.txt" For Input As #1 Input #1, content Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(content) Close #1 End Sub visual-basic-6 acecombat 6 posts since Jun 2008 Community Member 4Contributors 6Replies 9Views 8 YearsDiscussion Span 8 Years Ago Last Post by selvaganapathy 0 bushman_222 8 Years Ago What you want is called error trapping. use 'On error goto' The logic is that it will catch the errors then jump to the location you specific (in this case evilBadger) then run that code. To make the program jump back to the line that had the error you use resume, or to skip that line then resume next To turn off error trapping, use 'on error goto 0' that is Zero Private Sub Badger On error goto EvilBadger or call createstartupfile Resume end sud 0 selvaganapathy 31 8 Years Ago Hi, Open the file in output mode it will create the file automatically if doesnot exist 2 Featured Reply Jx_Man 987 8 Years Ago ' Return True if a file exists Function FileExists(FileName As String) As Boolean On Error GoTo ErrorHandler ' get the attributes and ensure that it isn't a directory FileExists = (GetAttr(FileName) And vbDirectory) = 0 ErrorHandler: ' if an error occurs, this function returns False End Function Private Sub Form_Load() If FileExists("H:\settings.txt") = True Then MsgBox "Your Code If File exists" Else MsgBox "Your Code if File not found" End If End Sub Comments Neji: Great code Sawamura: really nice 0 Discussion Starter acecombat 8 Years Ago ' Return True if a file exists Function FileExists(FileName As String) As Boolean On
