Execution of code dependent on outside file status
Windows XP 
Access 2007
Hello!
An outside JAR program sits in a specific folder.
That folder also contains a file C:/mypath/app.bat.end
When the JAR runs, it deletes that file. Once it has completed, it replaces the file.
There are 20 of these JAR apps, each in their own folder.
I need to loop through a table to determine which JARs are selected, and launch them. I've figured that out. I need to use the presence or absence of this file as the way to "hold off" Access from launching all of them essentially at once. Basically what I'm after is, in english:
Go to mypath. Look for app.bat.end.
If you do not see it, look again.
If you do, go on to the rest of the code.
Any guidance on how to do this would be appreciated!
Stephen.
