How do I see if a file exists on a mapped network drive

[ugagrad]

I am trying to see if a file exists on a mapped network drive with FoxPro 8. I have tried to use File() and Directory(). They both work if the network computer is on. However, if the network computer is not turned on. There is about a 20 second delay before the File() function returns false. Is there another more efficient way to do this.
Thanks,

It depends on your requirements, there is a post that checks if a network drive is mapped, and another one that checks and map as well.
