If I understand your original post correctly, you do not want to print
the file if it is not there. The CHKFILE function will tell you if there
is a file with that name in that directory. It will need to follow your
Vassyinst variable, because that is what it is checking for. I think you
are calling a PRINT function, so you would simply do something like
IF vChkFile = 1 then
PRINT whatever
ENDIF
An alternative scenario is to create a blank dummy RTF file and print
that instead.
IF vChkFile = 1 then
PRINT &Vassyinst
ELSE
PRINT BlankFile.rtf
ENDIF
Hope this helps

I Print a report where the assembly instructions are drawn from a
location outside RBASE via the below variables:
Vassypath 'S:\JPBAssyInst\RTFAssyInst\'
Vmodeluse (Model#)
Vassyinst (.vAssypath + .vModeluse + '.rtf')
These variables are all set in the F1 band that is the Model#.
I want no page to be printed if the instructions are not found.
I realize the vassyinst will never be null because it is a string I
create.
What way would there be so I force RBASE to "SEE" if the instructions
are really there?
The instructions are RTF files.
