   QB45 is your problem.  If you change over to PowerBAsic (this echo)
   you can do it easily with
         IF DIR$(c:\sub\myfile.ext) > "" then
             print "It exists"
           else
             print "ain't there"
         END IF
    C'mon over to "our side".  Latest version of PowerBASIC is 3.2.
    You can use your old QB45 source code.  Well, 99% of it.  I did.
    Peace.
