Brian - Thank you so very much for your prompt reply. I'm still scratching my head, because it does NOT work for me if I do the following sequence. -start the app -click the Save SharedObject button -open the testSO.sol inside notepad: I only see the testString test string testXMLData but no data follows this. -if I now click the Retrieve SharedObject button, I too see the xml string in the output console(presumably because the data is still stored in the mySO variable, not that it is actually reading it from the local disk) -if I now close the app and then start it again and click the Retrieve SharedObject button - there is only the test string data and no xml data that is displayed.
I'm quite baffled. Any other thoughts? Again, thank you very much for your willingness to help me. Anne --- In [email protected], "Sterling, Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It worked for me.
