Directory

Hello.
How to validate if a directory exists?
I want to put a error file in disk but i want to validate if directory that user entered exists
Anyone knows how?

It's useless to check in my opinion: just look at codeunit 412 (i never remember the name). with that codeunit the user can use the default browsing dialog box of windows. you can search the name of the codeunit in mibuso for further info, or report 81: file name textbox on reqform.
if the user selects a not existing folder, he will get an error...what should him expect?

But i don't want that because it opens or it saves a file not check a directory
I know.... Put it's to prevent calls like ' This s**t is not doing things right. You f**ed up this thing' and when i check its a directory that doesn't exits.....

You can use the File virtual table. Declare a record variable for File table.

Create a form based on that table to see its fields and how it works when you apply filters.
