Jose,

That's it then. I did the test for this under VFP 8.0. The additional parameter for the DIRECTORY() function is new. Did you include an ending backslash for the directory? That might be why CreateFile() isn't working.

The new parameter allows the DIRECTORY() function to return .T. if the directory exists, but is marked with either a hidden and/or system attribute. Without this flag, the function returns .F. if the attributes are hidden and/or system. This was the behavior in previous versions.
