Determining Size of a File
|

| Hello All,
I have a requirement to determine the size of a given file. My function
must obtain the file size, and return false if the file size is greater than
50mb. I have searched different sites, to no avail. Any help is greatly
appreciated!
Best Regards,
Brad

You should be able to use VB's built-in FileLen function for that...
Function IsFileSmall(PathAndFileName As String) As Boolean
IsFileSmall = Not (FileLen(PathAndFileName) > 50000000)
End Function
The FileLen function returns the number of bytes in a file, so I used
50000000 as your indicated 50 MB limit. If you want to use a different
definition of MB, then calculate how many bytes that would be and use that
in place of my 50000000 value in the function.
