I am trying to call a function from a sub routine but cannot do it. Error: argument not optional. I've researched in a lot of places to find a solution but I don't really understand the answers people give.
The function I'm using checks whether a file already exists:
Function FileExist(FilePath As String) As Boolean
I want to call this function from another macro. Using "Call FileExist" doesn't work, what will?
Try:
dim ReturnCode ReturnCode = FileExist("c:\test.txt") msgbox ReturCode

FilePath is the 'Argument'. 'Not Optional' means that it is required
Since it is supposed to determine if a file exists, you have to tell it which file you want to check
If FileExists ("C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Report.xlsx") Then ' do if true Else ' do if not there End IF

Remember: Tell us WHAT you want to do, not HOW you think you want to do it
1. Use [CODE] ....[/CODE ] Tags for readability
[CODE]PasteYourCodeHere[/CODE ] -- (or paste your code, select it, click [#] button)
2. Upload an example
Go Advanced / Attachments - Manage Attachments / Add Files / Select Files / Select the file(s) / Upload Files / Done
3. Mark the thread as [Solved] when you have an answer
Thread Tools (on the top right corner, above the first message)
4. Read the Forum FAQ, especially the part about cross-posting in other forums

Thank you all for your help!
