What I am trying to do is equivilant to an IfExist in C
I can Create - Append - and Read from a Disk File from with in the Code.
I can Also open an File/Directory (Save IN ....) dialog Box
What I want to do is Have the program check to see if the FILENAME exist prior to overwriting the file with in the code

If you can fopen it for reading without creation flags you good to go?

In general, you can do something like:

Sub MyFunction()
On Error GoTo FailedToReadFile
    ' Read File Code
On Error GoTo FailedToWriteToFile
    ' Write File Code
ExitMyFunction:
Exit Sub
FailedToReadFile:
    ' Read File Error Handling
    GoTo ExitMyFunction
FailedToWriteToFile:
    ' Write File Error Handling
    GoTo ExitMyFunction
End Sub
