Re-reading the input file even if the file name has not been changed can be obtained by setting "cache nothing" not only on the import module but also on ALL modules following the import module in the tree down to your image or display module. Thus each time you click on the "Execute" button DX detects and displays the changes in the input file. I used this feature to tune a program which builds a parametrized shape and overwrites always the same output file. Maybe it would be possible to maintain "caching" on some modules of your net, but try first by setting "cache nothing" on all modules. -- Richard GRENON ONERA Departement d'Aerodynamique Appliquee - DAAP/ACI BP 72, 92322 CHATILLON CEDEX - FRANCE phone : +33 1 46 73 42 17 fax : +33 1 46 73 41 46 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.onera.fr
