Karen,
Better make that trip to the Opthamologist... ;-)
>From the 6.5 HelpFile:
"CHKFILE(filename))
Checks to see if a file exists. If no path is specified, the function checks
for the file in the current directory. Otherwise, the function checks for
the file in the specified location.
The function returns a 1 if the file is found, and 0 if it is not found.
Wildcards in the filename will produce unpredicatable results. "
>From the 9.1 HelpFile:
"(CHKFILE('filespec'))
Checks to see if a file or folder name exists. If no path is specified, the
function checks for the file or folder name in the current directory.
Otherwise, the function checks for the file or folder name in the specified
location.
The function returns a 1 if the file or folder name is found, and 0 if it is
not found. Wildcards in the filename will produce unpredicatable results."
