Tim,

Thanks for the head's up!

If all you want to do is check the existence of a file, ever think of using
"If there is a file tFilePath then" instead of "open file tFilePath for
read"?  This way you don't have to worry about changes in the engine.

Just a thought...

Hello listers!

I just got burned by a change made sometime after vers 1.1.1, and I
thought I'd pass it along.

In some parts of my app, I use "Open File for Read" and check the result
for "Can't open that file."...therefore determining if a file exists or
not.  Well...somewhere a change was made from "Can't open that file." to
"can't open that file".  Note the subtle differences...the leading char
is now lower case (probably NOT a problem) BUT... the "." at the end is
gone!

My workround (because I'm still straddling 1.1.1 and 2.0.3 in my
development for EXACTLY this reason) will be to use:

if the result contains "can't open that file" then....

Hmmm...wondering what else changed...

Best Regards and Happy Thanksgiving to all from beautiful Ohio Amish
country!
