The FILE() function can have some unexpected behavior as it will also search
the VFP path. If for some reason you had the same file in a different location
it will still return .T. You may want to do something like obtain a file handle
to m.cFile before you try to delete it. And I would probably wrap the whole
thing in a TRY..CATCH.
Untested Pseudo-code alert
m.nHandle=FOPEN(m.cFile)
IF m.nHandle<>0
FCLOSE(m.nHandle)
ERASE (m.cFile)
ENDIF

Subject: HELP!!! I'm getting old.. What is wrong with this file code?
cFile=curdir()+"BCDE\"+"CUSTOMER.TXT"
which translates to:
C:\VFP9APPS\ACTIVE\WTL\BCDE\CUSTOMER.TXT
if (cFile)
At this line - error is data type mismatch...
The file is there. I need to erase it prior to proceeding.
What have I forgotten to do?
Thanks,
Mike
