Hi, check whether the file exists :
result=ftest(p$) result=0 if the file exists, if not you get different error codes. HTH Wolfgang Nb I think ftest is a tk2 function...
In a short SBASIC program a filename P$ is to be entered, and then it proceeds to print Copy_N P$, Ser$ where Ser$ is preset to the correct format for the printer. If the filename was entered wrongly, then the program exits with an error message. How can I ensure either that the name entered is valid, or error trap to revert to the entry screen with the appropriate message to try again.
