I can get it to record, but it is only in the Qualcomm PureVoice�,"Qclp". This one records very clearly. My only problem is that it does not get the very beginning of a sound and sometime it does. Sometimes it puts the first 2 seconds at the end of the recorded sound. When I can get around to understanding it more, I will bug report it more clearly to Scott. I use the following script in a record button: record sound file tName as Qclp --tName is a variable for the sound file Stop button: stop recording I would be interested to know if this happens for you. Have only done most of my testing on OS 10 -Mark Talluto _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
