FUNCTION FileEx

  LPARAMETER tcfilename
  
  LOCAL llresult, lcpath
  IF EMPTY(JUSTPATH(tcfilename))
    llresult = FILE(tcfilename)
  ELSE
    lcpath = SET('PATH')
    SET PATH TO
    llresult = FILE(tcfilename)
    SET PATH TO (lcpath)
  ENDIF
  RETURN llresult
ENDFUNC

Since it is a known issue, and applies (according to the KB article) only to VFP 6.0, I'd be surprised if it wasn't fixed in the next version.
