>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>I'm testing some file on the network drive using FILE function. The file is there, I checked in WE. Both File and SYS(2000) return this file as missing, though. The file name is all capital letters and have spaces in it. Testing only the first letter of the file in sys(2000) still doesn't bring the file.

>>>ADIR() also could not find this file. Very strange. May be I'm gallucinating? :) I see the file in WE in the correct location with my own eyes.

Not sure if this would make a difference but are any of the files encrypted (it should show when looking at the file properties in WE)?
