The following 2 files both exist on my c:\ drive:

test.txt and config.sys

When I use :

EXEC master..xp_fileexist 'C:\CONFIG.SYS'
I get the following results:

File exists Files is a directory Parent Directory Exists
1 0 1

Which is what I would expect.

However, when I use:

EXEC master..xp_fileexist 'C:\TEST.TXT'
I get the follwoing results:

File exists Files is a directory Parent Directory Exists
0 0 1

Any help would be appreciated
