EXISTS() Command

[Nancy Palmquist]

Mark,

I was checking this out and did find that this error is a NSF error and 
seems to be related to a mounted drive that supplies these files.

Not sure how to fix it but that is my next issue to resolve.

Thank you for the answers - that got me on the right track.

Nancy
