Hi, One of our business line developers is used to working with ColdFusion and is struggling, as we all are-:), with Zope. We are literally surrounded with piles of documents, e-books, and e-mail messages "explaining" the different aspects of Zope. We are slowly "getting it" and liking it... However... The developer (and myself) have been trying to figure this out for two days and push is now coming to shove and I'm hoping the list can help. I asked her write down in plain English what she is trying to accomplish and I would post it and see if anyone has a solution or solid direction to pursue. The system she developed publishes hundreds of multipage reports using MS Access and Acrobat (pdf). Access holds the links to every report, they are dated and published throughout a two week cycle. The reports themselves reside on numbered folders on a local drive (e:) In ColdFusion she would do something like, IF Fileexists (001delingprt) then .....and so on through the reports... Here is what she wrote ___________________________________________________________________________ Ok, here it is in plain English... I need to determine if a certain file exists. The filename is located in a certain variable. If it does exist do something, else do something else. For example: Say the file is called e:\test.pdf. This path exists in a variable called vartest If vartest exists then show the current month's file else show last month's file. Hope there's an answer.
