Sorry Kreft, I just tried the code myself, examined the documentation, and I can't find anything wrong with it. If I ever used the file I/O commands I'd be able to help you.

Looks like a bug to me... Justin?

Perhaps you should check the error flag (IFErrors) to see if the file exists first. The code worked fine for me.

I suppose I should have tried it with a file larger than zero bytes. :D

I just assumed that my CONFIG.SYS file would have something in it. There's Windows XP for you.
