>Robert, you may have to be more specific. The directory() command seems to look from your default folder. If you are in "f:\develop\myWork" the directory('data') will work, as will directory('temp'). Buth if you are in "f:\develop\myWork\data" the directory('temp') will show .F.

Barbara,
I am in the right directory. I'm using additional code before this code to check my current .exe directory using sys(16). I'm in the right place - the function returns .t. and .f. whenever it 'feels' like it!
