>>>I'm stuck here re-coding some old foxpro stuff. It's been a while since I've written anything other then VFP programs. I'm about to go crazy :-P. Ok, can someone point me in the direction of a function that will return the size of a file? I could redirect the output of the foxpro dir command and parse it into an array or something, but I would really prefer to avoid ugly functions like that.

Hmm, that's the second response that suggested I use FSIZE(). Am I missing something here? The docs say that FSIZE() returns the size of a particular field. I am looking for the size of the file, however. The same as you get when you issue the dos DIR command.
