It's odd but the "searchCurrentFolder" actually affects how the "searchPaths" work. I like to explain it like this: When "searchCurrentFolder" is at the default; TRUE, then the moviePath should be considered a an implicit first, but hidden entry, in the "searchPaths". When "searchCurrentFolder" is FALSE, then only the explicit entries in the "searchPaths" will be used for searches. If you still want the "moviePath" to be used as a basis for searches, you could just append to the "searchPaths" after your alternate path(s). I made a testBed to illustrate this: http://home.worldonline.dk/~hede/misc/current_folder_searchpaths.sit hth, and just ask, Jakob [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
