I am curious how they created a file name with a preceeding space.
It is not possible at least in Windows NT where I am this moment.
>Manually. I had a problem like this where I was receiving files from a client with a space as the first character. The only way I found to fix the name was to manually remove the space through Windows Explorer Rename. I could not open the file from VFP but I didn't really try beyond the first error message. You could try ERASE ( filename with space.txt). Include the parenthesis.
