Thanks Steve, now I know I am on the right track. One quick question though. I see how I would add a new row to the table, but how would I read from the table as well. Specifically what is the command to pull the values from a certain column so they could be used in a popupmenu. Thanks again, Alan

Store it in an external tab. When Mapinfo opens, blow away the entry so it's a clean slate every time. Store the whole file name so you can drill them back to the subdirectory they were is as well. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Gunn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 5:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: MI-L Save As Part of this program that I am working on allows the user to start a predefined redistricter, choosing the source from a popupmenu. The other part saves a copy of the redistricted source, reverts the source, prompts the user for the name and opens the new copy up. My question is how do I store the name that was entered in the "save copy as" (the new source) dialog to be selected in the popupmenu later (for choosing what to redistrict)? This is one of my first real programs, and I am guessing it could be written to and read from an external tab, but I really don't have a clue. Any hints on this would be much appreciated.
