Need Help Checking if a file exists?

I have a way to Save files using a button that grabs the text in textboxes and saves them with a number specified in one of those text boxes. example: "enter employee id:" (I would enter) "12345" and click the button, and it would save the file as 12345 with some info in it from other text boxes.

Now I also have implemented a way to check if that file exists in two separate folders so that is doesn't create a file with multiple of the same name.

Now I am trying to check if the file exists (in both directories) again when someone clicks a button to login on a separate page but I run into a problem where it always tells me the file doesn't exist. I'm new to programming so I'm a little lost. Here is my code:

Login Page:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Rent_a_Car
{
    public partial class Employee_Login_Page : Form
    {
        public Employee_Login_Page()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        string ManagerPath = @"C:\Users\mogee\Visual Studios Project Custom Files\Rent A Car Employee Id's\Managers\Manager_Ids.txt"; //Path To Manager Logins
        string EmployeePath = @"C:\Users\mogee\Visual Studios Project Custom Files\Rent A Car Employee Id's\Staff\Staff_Ids.txt"; //Path to Employees Logins

        string FileName; //Declares FileName
        bool FileExists;

        private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void Employee_Id_TextBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) && !char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) &&           //Checks Characters entered are Numbers Only and allows them
                (e.KeyChar != '0'))
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            }
            else if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)                                         //Checks if The "Enter" Key is pressed
            {
                Login_Btn_Click(this, new EventArgs());                             //If so activate the Login Button
            }
        }

        private void Employee_Login_Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void Login_Btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            FileName = Employee_Id_TextBox.Text=".txt"; //sets the string FileName to Employee Id Entered
            string pathManagerString = System.IO.Path.Combine(ManagerPath, FileName); //Combine Manager Path With New Id and sets to pathManagerString
            string pathEmployeeString = System.IO.Path.Combine(EmployeePath, FileName); //Combine Manager Path With New Id and sets to pathEmployeeString

            if (FileExists = File.Exists(pathEmployeeString)) //Check If Employee ID File Exists in Employee folder
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Employee ID Entered as Employee");
                EmployeeHome_Page myForm = new EmployeeHome_Page();
                this.Hide();
                myForm.ShowDialog();
            }
            else if(FileExists = File.Exists(pathManagerString))
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Employee ID Entered as Manager");
                EmployeeHome_Page myForm = new EmployeeHome_Page();
                this.Hide();
                myForm.ShowDialog();
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Employee ID Not Found");
            }
            //need to check logins and wether they are manager or just standard users/and if so activate manager button
        }
    }
}

using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

Change this line of code of Login_Btn_Click method:

Old

FileName = Employee_Id_TextBox.Text=".txt";

Replacement 

 FileName = Employee_Id_TextBox.Text+".txt";

And update location of both folder:

string ManagerPath = @"C:\Users\mogee\Visual Studios Project Custom Files\Rent A Car Employee Id's\Managers";
string EmployeePath = @"C:\Users\mogee\Visual Studios Project Custom Files\Rent A Car Employee Id's\Staff";
