Help FSO Input

Hi
I need some help creating this script
use the FileSystemObject to verify that a given folder exists and the user must enter the folder name in a inputbox.
 
FolderName = Inputbox("Enter Folder Name")
SearchLocation = "E:\"
If SearchName = FolderName Then
MsgBox("Folder Exists")
Else
Msgbox("No Folder Found")
End If

Using the shortest amount of code
 

If CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").FolderExists(InputBox("Enter Folder Name", "Folder Path", "C:\")) Then 
 Msgbox "Folder Exists", vbOkOnly, "Folder Verification" 
Else 
 Msgbox "Folder does not Exists", vbOkOnly, "Folder Verification" 
End If 
  

Using cleaner code
 

Dim fso : Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Dim folderPath : folderPath = InputBox("Enter Folder Path", "Folder Path", "C:\") 
If fso.FolderExists(folderPath) Then 
 Msgbox "Folder Exists", vbOkOnly, "Folder Verification" 
Else 
 Msgbox "Folder does not Exists", vbOkOnly, "Folder Verification" 
End If 

hi
thanks for that but i need to verify a folder exists not the C: drive
could you help?

Please be more precise about your requirements. Do you want to check for the existence of a folder directly under the root of a drive, or can the folder be anywhere on the drive?

hey sorry for the mess around i would like it for anywhere on the drive are you able to help?

The FAQ have examples for traversing directory trees.

thanks ill have a look in there now hopefully it helps me if not can i pm you?

No, you cannot PM me. You can post here again, though.

Originally you said "Folder", now you say "File". Did you try this with the word Folder replaced with the word File:

What exactly did you type that didn't work?
