Hi friends:

Till now I blame this to the fast user's fingers but now I know it's not so.

Before trying to open a file I check if it exists.

If FILE(cFile) returns .F. I create it.

A few year ago I had this problem with Clipper (DOS) and a net. The result was I used to lose data. So I solved warning the user and the time I oblige him to read the warning was the time the S.O. found the file.

Now I have the same problem but there's not a net.

First Windows Vista, now Windows XP.

Any of you know why FILE returns .F. althought the file exists?

And more important. Do you know any secure option?

Héctor
