As a follow up, can anyone suggest how I could access the GetSpecialDir from outside sysutils.pas? I've tried it and it seems that its not in the interface section or I think think this is the case. I get a little confused with the includes. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Thanks, -- Warm Regards, Lee "When my company started out, we were really, really, really, really small.
