Marc,
Don't forget the FILEFIND function. Here is piece of code from one of my
applications. Use it as you will.
SET VAR gvApx TEXT=(FINDFILE('DBDoc76.APX'))
IF gvApx IS NULL THEN
SET VAR vDlgMsg TEXT='Required files missing from PATH:'
SET VAR vDlgMsg=(.vDlgMsg & 'DBDoc76.APX')
SET VAR vDlgMsg= +
(.vDlgMsg + '. Place missing file(s) in PATH. Then restart application.')
PAUSE 1 USING .vDlgMsg AT CENTER CENTER DEFAULT GRAY ON RED
EXIT
ENDIF
