Unfortunately I do use FILE() and this is production code. I am not in a position to put in a new release. Is this known behavior of FILE()?

Guess I could have the client's mapping to the folder moved up a level so that instead of FILE('h:\upload.txt') it would be FILE('h:\ampm\upload.txt') then it would work.
