Suggestion to CTM in this regard: begin using alias records to store the file reference, instead of (presumably) absolute paths. This will maintain the linkage even if the file is renamed or moved elsewhere on the same disk. In my app (Doggiebox), I made this change recently (took about 15 minutes of coding) and the gain in usability is remarkable -- things seem to "just work" for the user. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
