Having a hard time executing these( just a beginner #embarrassed).
By default, in my code window i had some code written[in a new workbook]. i deleted them and wrote this code:
Function FnIsFileExits(strCompleteFilePath)
Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
If fso.FileExits(strCompleteFilePath) Then
strStatus = strCompleteFilePath & “File there nigga”
Else
strStatus = strCompleteFilePath & “Aint no FIle there man”
FnIsFolderExists = strStatus
End Function
However, i was not sure where to run/call this function from. i clicked on what looked like a play button and it asked me to save my micro. so i did with name: FnIsFileExits.
This took me to another[new code] window where below code was there by default:
Sub isFileExists()
End Sub
i had no idea what to do next. so i wrote this inside[stupid enough i know]:
Sub isFileExists()
MsgBox FnIsFileExits(“D:/hello.xmls”)
End Sub
when i tried to run this i got below error:

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications

Compile error:
Sub or Function not defined

OK Help

i would be really helpful if you can show full coding of the program or a how to run thingy.
there were very small mistakes ..
below is the code which worked for me
Sub Vishal()
MsgBox FnIsFileExits(“D:/hello.xmls”)
End Sub
Function FnIsFileExits(strCompleteFilePath)
Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
If fso.FileExists(strCompleteFilePath) Then
strStatus = strCompleteFilePath & “File there nigga”
Else
strStatus = strCompleteFilePath & “Aint no FIle there man”
End If
FnIsFileExits = strStatus
End Function
