Dir function and Vista

[John J.]

My costumer recently moved to Vista. Now the following code sometimes
doesn't work.

If Len(Dir(varMyPath & "mut.txt")) = 0 Then

Sometimes, even while the file is there, the outcome is 0. I can't figure
out what it is. Could this have something to do with Vista?

Thanks,
John

I don't think so; I use code like that in my databases and don't have any
problem. But what is in varMyPath? If, for example, it is a path string
that was hard-coded, and it refers to the user's personal document folder,
the path to that folder is different in Vista than it was in XP.

Thanks Dirk. varMyPath is obtained from a control table.
I'll do some further checking.
