Posts: 165              I'm trying to create a program with preferences which 
dictate the location of other programs, etc.  I have the following source:

Code:
function checkexists(dpath as string) as boolean
  dim d as folderitem
  
  d=GetFolderItem(dpath, folderitem.PathTypeShell)
  
  if d<>nil and d.exists then
  return true
  else
  beep
  beep
  beep
  msgbox (d.Name+" was not found!")
  return false
  end if
  exception
  beep
  beep
  beep
  beep
  beep
  MsgBox(dpath+" is not a recognized file.  Please check the program 
preferences.")
  return false
end function


This function is supposed to accept a shell path (which is in the preferences 
.txt file) and either catch the nilobjectexception, catch the 
unsupportedformatexception, or tell the user if the file doesnt exist.  The 
latter function works but it does not catch the exceptions.  Am I using the 
wrong format?  Neither exception nor try seem to work for me.
