Hmmm ... not quite what i wanted ... May be i didnt explain it well.

if i have the default directory as t:\app
and the path is empty. In the directory app, i have a subdirectory called dbf and the file i am searching for is in the dbf. LOCFILE will not find the file in this case and the dialog box will pop up...
