IF OR Statement

[ErrolDC]

Hi folks.
Is it possible to use an IF OR statement? I want to check for the presense of file_A OR file_B. If either one of them exists, THEN...
So, it looks like..

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not fso.FileExists(file_a) OR fso.FileExists(file_b) Then

..

but that does not work. Am I doing something wrong?

try this

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not fso.FileExists(file_a) OR NOT fso.FileExists(file_b) Then

I'm sorry I didn't read what you wanted close enough. If you want the event to fire if EITHER of the files exist then it would be:

if  fso.FileExists(file_a) OR fso.FileExists(file_b) Then

do not have the NOT statements.. that would only fire if the file didn't exist.

In any case, you have to do the full test after each OR or AND that are in the If...Then statement.

hmm.. still not working.
If either of the files do not exist, THEN i want to proceed.

Oh, do NOT exist well then it would be

if Not fso.fileExists(file_a) OR Not fso.FileExists(file_b) then
