    So if you already know the file's path, why not use _access("D:\\progrsample\\prodv70E\\prodmast\\wg_ll.txt, 0)?

        Your question is very incoherent.

        Since you already know the location of the file, what in the world are you searching for? :confused: If you simply want to search for a file, the answer has already been provided here.

                Thanks, I know it. See this[^] post of that guy. He specified a file name and then a path too! That's the reason for me to have suggested him this particular function.

                        I'm usually pretty good at deciphering, but you're still not making any sense. On more than one occasion, you stated things like, "I know the file ZZZ is in the XXX folder. I want to search that folder for file ZZZ." Why? If you already know that a file exists in a given folder, there's nothing to search, and no need to check if the file exists. Do you see why this is so confusing? You are asking for something that is completely unnecessary, or you are not asking for what you really want. In any case, we know nothing of things like "dialogue box and it contain name of the section and path of the section," "Webdocu section Path of the section," and "DEMO70E." Those are relevant only to you.
