I am checking a filename for validity.  If the filename is d:\file.ext,
and drive d: just happens to be my empty CD, FileExists gives a windows
system error (drive not ready; well, duh!).  Anybody know how to work
around this to check for invalid drives as well as not ready drives?

There are so many questions posted in this newsgroup which have already
been answered by means of Technical Information sheets (TI) on Borland's
web site. I know Borland's site often seems sleepy, but usually you can get
through on the twelve attempt.
There is a TI (TI2857) entitled 'How to check if a drive is ready' which
attempts to access a drive, but does not throw up erro messages everywhere
if there's no disk in the drive.

Good luck
Jonathan
