Problem with FileExist

[ThaSatelliteGuy]

CODE

Dim $ImportDup = 0

While $ImportDup <> 6

$szFName = "C:\TEST"

$ImportFile = InputBox("Save As","Enter Filename to Save The New File:",$szFName & "_Importable.csv")

MsgBox(4,"",$ImportFile)

;ClipPut($Importfile)

;Exit

MsgBox(4,"",FileExists($ImportFile))

If FileExists($ImportFile) = 1 Then $ImportDup = MsgBox(4,"File Save Error!", "Target File Already Exists!" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Do You Want To Save Over This File?")

If $ImportDup = 6 Then FileDelete($ImportFile)

WEnd

C:\TEST_Importable.csv exists, yet the value returned in:

MsgBox(4,"",FileExists($ImportFile))

is ALWAYS 0

What is it that I am doing wrong??

I am even verifying what it's looking for with a temp msgbox, and it does exist, and there is no other params to enter for the FileExist command, so.... HELP!!!!

Are you entering full path in InputBox? Like C:\TEST_Importable.csv

yep, here is a copy/paste from a txt file of what it is lookiong for: (Accomplished with a temp ClipPut() command, then pasted)

X:\John Moore\AutoIt Programming\DevelopeThis!\TEST 123006_Importable.csv

NEVERMIND! Blatent act of STUPIDITY!!

I never told my loop what to do in case of NotExist...DUH!

Straight copy your code works fine for me. I do believe you are really missing that file.

Go to DOS Prompt and do DIR "X:\John Moore\AutoIt Programming\DevelopeThis!\*.*" and see that file is really there.

Sometimes it is different what you see in Windows Explorer.
