Greg,
I would use it as :
If file(m.xFile) && Thinking there might be a field named xFile

However I don't trust File() and use my own IsFile() function :

	Procedure IsFile
	Lparameters tcPath, tcFile
	Local arrFiles[1]
	Local lcFullPath
	tcPath = Iif(Empty(m.tcPath), Sys(5)+Curdir(),m.tcPath)
	lcFullPath = Iif( Empty(tcFile), m.tcPath, Addbs(m.tcPath)+m.tcFile )
	Return ( Adir(arrFiles,m.lcFullPath) = 1 )
Endproc
