Just type at the VFP commandwindow:

?DISKSPACE("\\NOSERVER\C\NODISKDRIVE")

How long did it take to return -1. On my computer it was immediately.

Now type

?FILE("\\NOSERVER\C\NODISKDRIVE\nofile.txt")

How long did THAT take?

On my computer connected to a novell network, DISKSPACE returns in .001 second

FILE() returns in 2 to 5 seconds.

You decide.
