Corrected version:

See if this does what you want.  If it does not find the file or if the file
does not have a size (directories and labels do not report size) then the
returned value is zero.

-------------------------------------
#include <vcl.h>

__int64 __fastcall SizeOfFile(const char *file_name);

inline __int64 SizeOfFile(AnsiString & as)
 {
 return SizeOfFile(as.c_str());
 }

const HANDLE BAD_FIND_VALUE =
 reinterpret_cast<HANDLE>(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE);

__int64 __fastcall SizeOfFile(const char *file_name)
 {
 WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
 HANDLE find_hand = ::FindFirstFile(file_name, &wfd);
 __int64 result = 0;

 if (find_hand != BAD_FIND_VALUE)
   {
   result = (static_cast<__int64>(wfd.nFileSizeHigh) << 32) |
     wfd.nFileSizeLow;
   ::FindClose(find_hand); // CORRECTION - added
   }

 return result;
 }
