>I was refering to yours modification. However Cetin's code has the same probem. It'll check if file 'EMPS.exe' exists anywhere along VFP search path. To check for a file in specific location, you can use SYS(2000) or ADIR()

Tssk tssk:) I think you made a typo.

lcFileName = "AlocalFile.txt"
STRTOFILE("Are you sure?",m.lcfileName)

? "Exists in search path",;
 FILE(m.lcfileName)
? "Exists in the same folder where exe is",;
 FILE(forcepath(m.lcFileName,justpath(application.servername)))

ERASE (m.lcFileName)

Cetin
