Does anybody out there know a straightforward way to find 
out whether or not a file exists on the harddisk while a 
LOTUS macro is running ?
The only thing I could come up with was the "/File Admin Table Worksheet"
command, which creates a list of filenames in a given 
cell range. One could then search this table for the 
desired filename. Just attempting to load the file and then 
using the ONERROR function to trap errors failed, since this
seems to clear the subroutine (or rather "sub-macro") stack.
I can't believe that there isn't a more 
simple solution to this ! Any ideas ?
