function ReportFolderStatus(fldr)
{
   var fso, s = fldr;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   if (fso.FolderExists(fldr))
      s += " exists.";
   else 
      s += " doesn't exist.";
   return(s);
}
[VBScript]
Function ReportFolderStatus(fldr)
   Dim fso, msg
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   If (fso.FolderExists(fldr)) Then
      msg = fldr & " exists."
   Else
      msg = fldr & " doesn't exist."
   End If
   ReportFolderStatus = msg
End Function
