I have a situation where I need to update/add/delete records in a historical snapshot file (or files) if the current live file is changed (retro-active changes).

The historical files are named by year/month and may or may not exist for a selected record.

Looking for suggestions on the quickest easiest way to verify a file's existence. This will be in a trigger program.

Thanks.
