The only problem I have had with using FULLPATH() is that if the file does not exist in the FP path, it just returns the current directory name and path, so it is really important to check for the existence of the file first. And if it isn't in the current FP path, but still on the machine or server, you won't get FILE(xxx) = .T. Also, beware if the same filename exists in more than one place in the FP path, FULLPATH() will only return the fully qualified filename of the first one found... This really drove me nuts on debugging an app a few year ago from another developer who was sloppy about file names and locations....
