Does anyone have an idea what it means when I do the following commands?<br>
<br>
aa(8,.0)=Open([Name of file])<br>
<br>
ab(8,.0)=filesize(aa)   'should report the filesize of the opened file <br>
and does most of the time.<br>
<br>
But sometimes I get the value "-4" instead of a positive number of some <br>
kind.<br>
<br>
I expect it might be an error of some kind and if a -4 is possible, can <br>
I expect other negative numbers?<br>
<br>
I would appreciate any insight on this.  I am kind of assuming the file <br>
was not created or something bad like that happened.<br>
