how do i stop the error if a folder doesnt exicist?

or better, how do i do an "if ... then ... else... end if" statement

so i can say "sorry this folder doesnt exicist... click here to create it"

while i typically hate using On..Error..Resume..Next, it does serve purpose sometimes

<%
Dim objFSO, objFolder
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On error resume next
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("/upload/folder01/")
if err.number > 0 then
Response.Write("Folder doesn't exist, would you like to create it?")
else
Response.Write("Folder exists.. do whatever here")
end if
on error goto 0
Set objFSO = Nothing
%>

there's a filesystemobject method to check to see if a folder exists.

if NOT objFSO.folderexists("c:\myfolder") then
Response.write("Folder Doesn't exist")
End if
