help - file exists in a windows dir

help - given a file spec is it possible to determine the truth without looking, i.e. wether or not a file exists in a windows dir

Try the following:

IF not isnull(QVDCreateTime([\\PATH\FILENAME.qvd])) Then

Research:

LOAD *

FROM

[\\PATH\FILENAME.qvd]

(qvd);

End If

Obviousley you can use file types other than .qvd but this works for me on a .qvd file.
