Hi,

I included a small .DBF (free) file into my application .EXE. This file is supposed to be a semaphore to run certain (custom) procedure if the file is present. So I am using code
if file( "mytokenfile.dbf")
   *-- Use custom procedure
endif 
But I seem to remember reading in one of the messages here that sometime FILE() may not "see" the file in the .EXE. Am I confusing something or this case is possible?

Thank you.
