I am successfully launching an html help file via GeExecuteFile in a tag plugin.
However, when I make the target file unavailable GeExecuteFile still returns a positive result which makes it impossible for me to detect that the file wasn't found and an error message should appear.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

To check if the file exists, you can use GeFExist() 
I am not sure to what extent GeExecuteFile is OS dependent, I have programmed many years for the Windows OS, and the Windows API has several ways of opening (executing) a file, and I do not know which of them C4D uses.
So to be safe, just use GeFExist(..)

Thanks. GeFExist(...) works!
