Thanks Mitch....it does...
Thanks, Travis D. Hanson From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 4:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [talkbws] RE: No file found... I've several scripts that utilize spreadsheets as the data source as part of a two part script (1. create the spreadsheet, 2. do something with the data). If the scripts stop midway, I don't want to create the spreadsheet, or if the spreadsheet has a datestamp (field in the spreadsheet) that is the current date, I don't want to create a new spreadsheet, otherwise, I create a new spreadsheet. There are times (manual rerun, someone mis-deleting, etc) where the source spreadsheet might be missing from the specified path. I've an internal function that checks for the source, and if one is not present, creates an empty one so the script does not bomb. you can use normal visual basic filesystemobject commands to do this (google it if you don't know). HTH.

Not something that I've dealt with previously so not sure the best practice...How do the experts here handle when the your script attempts to open a file for the DataStation that is not present? Normally not something that comes up but I have a project where the possibility is much more pronounced so thought now would be a good time to pose the question here... Thanks, Travis D.
