Wait for File to Exist

 

This option waits for a specific file to exist. As an example, a macro creates a new file and then uses the Wait for File to Exist command to instruct the macro to wait until the file has been created before continuing.

 

 

Script Editor > Expand Timing Category > Wait for File to Exist

 

 

Filename

Insert the entire file path and drive or click on the Browse button to navigate to the location of the file.

 

 


 

 

Wait Indefinitely

With this option checked, the macro does not resume until the Wait For action specified has occurred. 

 

Wait at most

With this option checked, the macro waits the number of  hours, minutes and seconds specified for the Wait For action to occur. If that action does not take place within the specified time frame, the macro takes the action selected in the On Error tab.
