Sorry if this has been posted already.

If you're running Windows under Parallels, it seems that file names on  
a shared hard drive (usually designated the Z drive) are case sensitive.

on testFileName
   answer file "" ## select a file with upper case characters
   if it <> empty then
     put it into tFile
     put toLower(tFile) into tFile
     put (there is a file tFile) ## will be false
   end if
end testFileName


Watch out!!

Dave
