Are you checking the return handle against INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (= -1)?

Do check the Win32API Help file that ships with VFP. The details are too long to post here (although, I think, this qualifies to be placed in the VFUG FAQ or something). And I just checked, C++ sizeof(WIN32_FIND_DATA) returns 320.

Hope this helps!
