Actually, that *is* what I do, too. But, this app was written long ago, by someone else, and has been running this way for a while. Somehow, an issue never came up until someone uploaded an image file named Lot #31.jpg, which caused an error when displaying a popup image window. Changing the way the whole thing works at this point just isn't going to fly. Wish I knew how to write RegExp's, prolly wouldn't be that hard to do, if I don't hear anything here today, I'll prolly just figure out how to do it myself. It's about time I learned how to use RegExp's anyways.
