There's two options: allow the user to select the file, or if there's a "right" thing to do, then do that. If we want to allow the user to select the file, then we should give them a radio button list of potential files. Grey out the ones that they can't write to. Select the last one per bwy's suggestion to use the last one. If we search for .rc filename in the order of specificness, then I agree that writing the last one is the correct thing to do. When would anybody object to that? -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | Software that needs Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | documentation is software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | that needs repair.
