Tore,

I'm not sure what it is you are getting at. Can you provide me with an example?

If I use DIRECTORY("C:\MYFOLDER") in the debugger, VFP8 returns .T. because I do have this folder. Next, if I try to create a file named MYFOLDER on the root of drive C: without an extension, Windows complains and wont create it (no surprise here).

Mike

>Yes, less typing, but you can not tell whether you have a file or a directory with the given name. With my code you know that you have a directory and not a file!
