The one thing I couldn't work out was how to make it so you didn't have to type out each blimmin symbol name (its ok if you use dir >> directory.txt in cmd). I tried using - Save File "\\server\share\*.bmp" As usercustdir+ "*.bmp" to no avail......

Excellent, thanks guys. For those interested I need this for an automated custom symbols script (I got sick to death of copying over all the bmp's for every user ever time I did a reinstall/upgrade or added some more symbology). We now have a central store for our custom symbols and the end user can simply copy them over themselves by using the script. Theres probably an easier way but ... it works dim usercustdir As String usercustdir = LocateFile$(LOCATE_CUSTSYMB_DIR) Save File "\\server\share\100kphR.bmp" As usercustdir+ "100kphR.bmp" Reload Custom Symbols From usercustdir Thanks again...
