help on a command that will only run on first start of program

[ooroboo]

this is my code

Private Sub Form1_load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load

RichTextBox.Loa dFile("C:\\file notes", RichTextBoxStre amType.RichText )

End Sub


Private Sub Form1_FormClosi ng(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As

System.Windows. Forms.FormClosi ngEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

RichTextBox.Sav eFile("C:\\file notes", RichTextBoxStre amType.RichText )

End Sub


when i open my app it comes up with an error , because it trying to load a file that is not there , it there a 'runonce' command which will only run on the first ever run of the program ( a command to create the file "C:\\filenotes" ) . This would solve my problem

( the code is very basic generally because i'm new to vb)


thanks for your time / help

A lazy solution will be adding

[CODE=vb]on error resume next[/CODE]

at the begining of the sub, so if it doesnt find the file, it'll skip that line, and wont stop the app.

I'd recomend you that also write
[CODE=vb]on error goto 0[/CODE]
in some point where you want the code to start showing you the errors again.

It seems as though the more sensible approach would be to have your application's startup code check whether the file exists and if not, create it. That way, it won't matter whether it has been run before.
