Marc,

I think you have your answer - DIRECTORY() seems to return .F. for system/hidden directories. If you have the Windows Scripting Host installed, you could try something like this:

lcdir="C:\TEMP"
oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
IF TYPE("oFSO.GetFolder(lcdir)")="O"
   < Directory exists >
ELSE
   < Directory doesn't exist >
ENDIF
