Hi Cetin,

My point is that FILE() function is not reliable when looking for files in specific place. It could find a file in EXE ignoring path provided or give false positive in the root of drive.

CLEAR

CD ("C:\temp")
MD temp2

lcFilePath = FULLPATH("") + "\temp2"
lcFileName = "AlocalFile.txt"
STRTOFILE("Are you sure?", "temp2\" + m.lcFileName)
SET PATH TO (lcFilePath  )

? "Exists in drive root", FILE(JUSTDRIVE(_VFP.servername) + "\" + 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 ("temp2\" + m.lcFileName)
RMDIR temp2
