Hello,

ASP, VBScript, IIS5.

I have used the Server.MapPath object in the past in my web sites. What I am
trying to do is before I map a path, to see if the folder is there. If so,
map it. If not, do something else.

Is there a way to do this? I tried the following:

If Server.MapPath("testfolder") = True Then
Set objFile = Server.MapPath("testfolder")
End If

but of course that doesn't work because MapPath doesn't support a Boolean
value. Any ideas on what I need to do to accomplish this? Thanks,

Chris

Andrew,

Thanks for such a quick response. I had just thought about that. I
appreciate it. Thanks again.

Chris
