    I know the script for testing if file exists (file.isopen) It does not work with folders. Is there an equivalent of Java 'import java.io.*' in max6 or max7? I want to keep it in javascript cos it's part of a bigger db scripting Thanks

      there is Folder object in JS with which u can scan specified location for files . U can retrieve names of files and folders , paths , sizes .etc . You can restrict it to scan for folders only too .
      var fold = new Folder("c:");
fold.typelist = ["fold"] ;
while(!fold.end){
	post(fold.filename,"\n");
	fold.next();
}

      Strictly for testing if the folder exists. No iteration through files...
      function folderExists(file){
	var fold = new Folder(file);
	if (fold.end) {	
		return (false);
	}
	else {
	return (true);
	}
}
