Hi all, I was trying to access a file using Visual Basic, but it shows Visual Basic error code 53 “file not found.” I have taken a screenshot of the error:
How can I fix this?
The error will report a missing file on your PC. First of all, search for that file in your system. If that file is misplaced to another location, then you can resolve the error by searching the file and returning it to its original place. The file being addressed is located in Widows registry. So paste back the file into its location then register it again to Windows. Then, clean out the registry of your PC.
That is a runtime error which means you are creating a program and the error indicates a “file not found”. A file not found means the program is trying to access a file but the file was not found in the path. If you are trying to open a linked file, make sure the file exists in the path you set in the program.
Make sure the filename indicated in the path is correct. The only way to fix the problem is to check the target file indicated in the path in your program if it exists or not.
