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;
    }

  return result;
  }
