Tracy,
Another less elegant alternative is to try and catch
? getTablePath('dbWorkFiles', 'myTable')
function getTablePath(tcDataBase, tcTable)
local lcPath
try
use (tcDataBase + '!' + tcTable) alias someAlias in 0 again shared
lcPath = justpath(dbf())
use in select('SomeAlias')
catch
lcPath = null
endtry
return lcPath
