eternitybc eternitybc Lurker Registered: 2005-05-25 Posts: 1	If Exist ("c:\image.txt") ELSE This code is currently implemented, works great. But now they changed the file name, so we have to check for either file. I tried: If Exist ("c:\image.txt", "C:\image2.txt") ELSE to no avail. It mentions inthe documentation that you can check for mulitple files- what is the correct syntax?
