A relative path is resolved inside the project. So if you use your project as 
a component, the file must be inside the component, otherwise it won't work.

If you want a component to access a file located inside the project that uses 
this component, there is a trick: starting the relative path with "../".

But Exist() should be coherent with File.Load(), so can you send me the code, 
so that I have a clear view of what you do?
