From the command window I can type:

?file("\\jkt02\apps_vfp\documents\released\sop\sop-001_90.doc")

and this returns .f. as expected (the file doesn't exist). However inside an application I have I create a variable as follows:

thisform.cDocFileName="\\jkt02\apps_vfp\documents\released\sop\sop-001_90.doc"
** thisform.cDocFilename is built and the above is the final value)

In the debugger, I put in the watch section file(thisform.cDocFilename) and the value returned is .T. !!!!

Does anyone know why it does this?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
