Re: File.Exists does not work on some machines

Yes file exists!
(I even copied the whole folder from my Dev PC....to make sure)

At the moment I'm logged in as Administrator
This is a simple workstation "Standalone" in effect

Tried the app on 3 machines in the office (peer-peer setup)

My PC and Notebook BOTH have VStudio - work OK on both !

The rest of the app works on ALL machines!
although I'm having problems with Word and Excel objcets but thats another
story
(most likely I'm not disposing of all the objects I've created - which I
could close ALL the objects created in a Sub Routine at one!!)
