What I've been doing so far is using FileOpen and if the handle number returns less than 0 then the file doesn't exist. I think you're suggesting a similar solution. It works but it's sloppy because it runs a nice string of error msgs in the debugger.
There is another way. Use Win32API FindFirstFile/FindNextFile.

I'm hoping someone can help me with these two issues:
1. How do I find Time[0] for 1H timeframe if my indicator is running in 5M timeframe for example?
2. Is there a function that finds whether a particular file exists in a particular directory? Sort of like Dir?
Thank you in advance
