ok, john, >They all work fine! yes on windoz.... what i mean, is that if you port the app from mac to win, and change the \ bij : it wil in some cases not work.
i can tell... just spend yesterday and today sweating writing a loop that returns the entire filenames list from a a given path and because i wanted to scan till no more folders, subfolders, files were found, i needed to create from each folder scan the next seachpath. using the "logical" translation : bij \ simply doesn't work.(FOR ME) not adding the : on mac and adding it for win was the solution to me. but i agree that it might be laying on the synthax i use to create this path. i might look at the problem from another point of view than you since i first author on mac, then bring few changes for the win version. but i dont say what you've wrote is wrong, i just say that in particular case those "signs" give troubles and got paths like HD::filename causing my loop to exit... by the way, you should know that 8.0 was not giving the problem using open file, but when i've imported the 8.0 dir into 8.5. the result was a non functionning openfile. I read on macromedia technotes that changes were made into 8.5 according to security reasons. in case you run on 8.0 it could be the reason you get the thing working as you describe.
