Like so:
tempFileObj =new(xtra "fileio") openFile(tempFileObj, "c:\myfile.xxx", 1) result =status(tempFileObj) closefile(tempFileObj) tempFileObj =0 if (result =-37) then -- THE FILE DOES NOT EXIST end if This example opens it in mode 1 (for reading), checks the status, closes the file (which does nothing if the file wasn't there), frees the instance, and checks the result. - Tab At 08:33 PM 3/28/02 -0500, stacey.i.strickler.1 wrote: >I am having trouble checking to see if a file exists using FileIO.
