Mike,

a couple of possiblitites

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function	FileExists(FileName)
    && declare Integer GetFileAttributes in win32api string @

	return (GetFileAttributes(@m.FileName) <> -1)
endfunc
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------

also possible

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function	FileExists(FileName)

 	return  (alen(adir(aa, FileName, 'DHS')) > 0)
endfunc
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would avoid file() since it searches the set('path') if it can not find it and may return wrong information.
