checking file in a extern folder

Hi,

There are 2 fields :
- Name_of_file : text
- Present (yes/no)
and a folder ZZ which contains some files like
a.pdf, b.jpg , ...........

When I give a name in Name_of_file, Present must
show if the file existe (yes) or not (no) in the folder ZZ.

Should I calcul directly in a field or use a script and how ?
or is there a plug-ins that can do that ?

Your help is highly appreciated,

J.

Re: checking file in a extern folder

You might want to look at the free 'Moo' plugin
, which can be used to check if a file exists.

Or you can do it without a plugin by trying to import the file into a
container field (with error capture turned on) and then check for
problems if get(lasterror) > 0
