>>I am employing the statment "if file('d:\hisname.mem')" in an app. Most users have a D:drive and a few do not. My statement causes an error. Do I need to employ an error handler is this case?

>problem seems to have gone away as fast as it came. ?????

If the problem comes back try using the drivetype() command:

if drivetype('d') # 1 and file('d:\hisname.mem')

or

if drivetype('d') = 3 and file('d:\hisname.mem') &&if you want it to be just a hard drive
