Subject check to see if a file is in a dir before deleting it From Charlie <tm@tc.com> Date Sun, 18 Apr 2021 14:51:24 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started I am trying to check to see if a file actually exists in a particular directory before deleting it.  I can not figure this out.   The only thing I have tried is: if xcsv+"\etext"+ltrim(str(ebno))+".csv" = true      msgbox( "Success" )   endif Which is a futile attempt I realize. Instead of the message box success I would delete it if it exists with this: delete file xcsv+"\etext"+ltrim(str(ebno))+".csv" I don't seem to be able to figure out a try, catch to do it. I realize this is not much info but I don't have much to give.  Any suggestions? Charlie
