Um, how about disabling your standard error handler before the call, trapping for this error and then re-enabling the error handler...oops, sorry, I couldn't resist! Seriously, no. Gotta admit, though that's always scared me away from the function...

>The Locfile() command returns a VFP error if you click CANCEL, instead of a null string or other "This didn't work" value. I *can* use Getfile(), although I would prefer Locfile() for a specific use. Any suggestions other than disabling our standard error handler before the call, trapping for this error and then re-enabling the error handler?
