It's never simple, since you need an armload of handlers for dealing with situations such as "same file name exists already", "same file name with ' 1' added on exists already", etc. etc, etc., replacing colons with "-", etc. But it's all possible. I think if you write to the eMA mailing list, you may find it's been done before. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
