Hello all, I would like to know how can I check whether the folder is exist or not? Which function should I use in visual C++? and which library should I included into my program? Thanks! Nachi

try using chdir function. i.e., set the current directory to the required folder. if it fails then the folder does not exist (or atlease unusable)

_access() can Determine file-access permission. Return Value Each of these functions returns 0 if the file has the given mode. The function returns –1 if the named file does not exist or is not accessible in the given mode; in this case, errno is set as follows: EACCES Access denied: file’s permission setting does not allow specified access. ENOENT Filename or path not found. Thinking in difference!

I like using _access() myself, but GetFileAttributes() is also available.
