1. The SYNTAX says that if you use wildcards with
the CHKFILE function you may get back bad results
so I don't use that method.

I have red that in the manual ... but it seems to work OK (I cross my
fingers ...)
What I intend to do is check that the directory exist. There migth be a
more clever way to do it ...

2. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know what this is at all. I'll have to look
into this one.

That's what I use alway to display message and get user's answer.
2 main reasons :
- windows is more nice, always perfectly centered, can hold severals lines
(just inbed (CHAR(10)) into the text to force LF)
- buttom are always displayed with the current windows language, so it help
to have a langage independant app.
For example,
SET VAR vTEXT = ('4|' + .Vcaption + '|' + .vTEXT)
SET VAR vTEXT = (UDF('@RMSG.DLL',.vTEXT))
will display 2 buttoms OUI/NON when the current windows version is FRENCH
(and YES/NO if ENGLISH)

Be carefull if you do that :
CONNECT mpofile IDENTIFIED BY &vg_user
IF errvar <> 0 THEN
PAUSE FOR 2 USING 'ERROR: Could not connect to database' AT CENTER
...
ENDIF
If later you decide to SET STATICDB ON (as I do), you will get error 2495
