Yep. That did it!

I thought I tried that before and it didn't work. Seems to work now. I decided to use the FileExits and it works ok now as well.

Thanks!

BTW: I also figured out why the ActiveX popup appears. It's because I am in Preview Mode, which has limited trust. Since my template is Fully trused, the popup doesn't appear if I open the form directly.

Did you use a double backslash between folders, like:

var strRECFile = ("C:\\FolderOne\\FolderTwo");

jscript FolderExists only go one level and alternative to ActiveX control

This is a two part question. I placed in the following code:
function XDocument::OnLoad(eventObj)

{

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var strRECFile = ("C:\\FolderOne");

if (fso.FolderExists(strRECFile))

{

XDocument.UI.Alert("Folder Exists");

}

else

{

XDocument.UI.Alert("Folder doesn't exist");

}

It finds the folder as expected. However, if I place in var strRECFile = ("C:\\FolderOne\FolderTwo"); it doesn't find the folder. I did a search but I couldn't find an example of a folder exists that found more than one level. Is my syntax incorrect? Can this method go more than one level?

Question 2: The IE explorer's "ActiveX Page may be unsafe caution window appears". Is there anyway to disable it for this form itself? I don't want to soften the user's ActiveX settings in their IE. Is there an alternative to checking to see if a file exists other than the ActiveX?

Thanks,
