Hi Chet,

Another approach to your problem would be display BrowseForFolder window. In this case you don't have to validate what users typed.
Anyway, if you want to verify whether or not a directory exists, use code below:

Dim FSO as Object
Set FSO = Wscript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not FSO.FolderExists(strFolder) then
	MsgBox "Folder " & strFolder & " doesn't exist."
end if
Set FSO = Nothing

Just my 2 cents, Igor
