How To Test If A File Exists In Microsoft Access VBA Using The Dir Function

In this video, we will walk through how to use the DIR function in Access VBA to check if a file exists before attempting to open it. I demonstrate how to update a customer form to include a button that opens a resume file, and then show how to add code that uses the DIR function to verify the file's existence and display a clear message if it is missing, helping prevent confusing errors for your users. Error handling alternatives and why not to store files directly in your database are also briefly discussed. Jasper from Cambridge, England (a Platinum Member) asks I've got some VBA code that's supposed to open a file from a folder on my computer, but sometimes the file isn't there anymore. When that happens, Access throws an error and the code stops. Is there a simple way in VBA to check if a file exists before trying to open it?
