Paul,

Are you passing them as & macro expanded parameters? If so you'll get errors if the name contains any spaces.

lcFileName = "this is my really long filename.txt"
strtofile( "test", lcFileName ) && create the file

? file( lcFileName ) && works
? file( &lcFileName ) && errors because of the space

>I am having a real frustrating time using ADir() and File(). Both of them take a file name for a parameter, but both of them fail when passed a Long Filename. Well, they don't fail all the time, like in my test code, but they do fail in my production code. I'm sure the difference is some arcane "SET" command or environment setting, but I don't need this kind of help going insane!
