I've been using a different approach.
Local FileList[1]
If ADIR(FileList, m.cFile) = 0
*-- File does not exist
Although the FOPEN ensures you can open the file for use. I have found some
Anti-Virus and some On-Demand backup systems will lock the file right after
I let it go. This causes the next attempt to use it to fail. YMMV
