Actually File.exists does work. My little bit of test code must have been awry. It is actually the "access denied" that causes problems. I didn't bother to see what File.delete returns. Would that be preferable? (aside: File.delete seems an unusual method to effectively return an error code. If it didn't delete the thing, it should have thrown an exception, IMHO). Conor
