In some cases I get the following error: The error points to the line of code above. I know the file doesn't exist, but I don't want this error to appear. file vb6 dir share|improve this question asked May 7 '13 at 9:32 Hrqls 2,34631950 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted I forgot to error number 53 mention something: the filename is dynamic and depends on another process. I just noticed that when the error occurs, the other process returns trash causing a long filename of about 2000 characters. I never realized that there was a limit to the length of filenames. I created a small project to test this and it turned out that the upper limit is 259 characters: Option Explicit Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim strFile As String Dim intLength As Integer strFile = App.Path & "\" intLength = 259 - Len(strFile) strFile = strFile & String(intLength, "a") If Len(Dir$(strFile)) = 0 Then MsgBox "file does not exist" End If End Sub Using a value of 259 works fine, but 260 gives the error. share|improve this answer answered May 7 '13 at 9:38 Hrqls 2,34631950 2 +1 for answering own question and persistance. As for magic 260, it is likely that Dir$() hits MAX_PATH limit: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247.aspx –Ilya Kurnosov May 7 '13 at 9:54 ah thanks! that's it indeed. would have been nice though if they would have provided another error than "file not found" :) –Hrqls May 7 '13 at 9:56 @Hrqls I suspect that the VB runtime simply copied 260 characters from the file string into a buffer of 260 characters (i.e. sized to MAX_PATH), thus implicitly truncating the file name to
error occurs when a file is accidentally misplaced by the system or when a .dll file is not found in its proper search path. This problem mostly concerns dynamic link library files, which are needed by Windows to perform most functions. You need to resolve the issues surrounding the specific .dll file causing problems to be able to do away with the runtime error 53. What Causes Runtime Error 53? When you encounter this error, an alert like this will be shown on your screen: “Runtime error '53': File not found (yourfile.dll).” The error notification is telling you that a certain .dll file is missing. Windows expects the file to be in a certain search path, but when it tries to use it, the file has disappeared. The file could have been accidentally misplaced by the system or by someone using the computer. Alternatively, this problem can also be caused by errors inside the registry - concerning some of the important settings stored there. You need to resolve the error to fix the problem, which can be achieved using the steps listed next. How To Fix Runtime Error 53 Step 1 – Search For The Mentioned File On Your PC The error will report a missing file in your system. You can search to see if the file has been misplaced in another location. If the file has simply been ‘lost’, you can fix the error by locating it and returning it to its original location. To find a missing file, here is what you should do: Click Start Select Search for Windows XP, or click the My Computer icon for Vista or Windows 7 In the search box, type the name of the file you want to locate and press ENTER Wait for the search process to complete Once results are presented by the search process, copy the file by selecting it and pressing the CTRL + C keys, or right-click on the file and select Copy. Step 2 – Copy The File To The “C:/Windows/System32” Folder The file that Windows is reporting as missing was originally located in the “C:/Windows/System32” folder. It needs to be placed back here, so navigate to that location and paste the
