No one knows where these JPGs are going to be stored. Could be a local drive, a network directory, the user's "pictures" or "documents".... basically it could be anywhere on the computer or network. It would be nice to start "at the top" so that the user can see all the locations and drill down to wherever these files are stored. I can start at a particular directory (like your c:\users) but the user might have to navigate all the way back up and then back down somewhere else.
I don't know, maybe I should ask for an enhancement for an option to "start at the top"?

So I believe you will need to play around with these SET VAR p_Net_HomeDirectory TEXT = (CVAL('CURRDIR')) SET VAR p_Net_UserID TEXT = (CVAL('NETUSER')) SET VAR p_Net_NetGroup TEXT = (CVAL('NETGROUP')) SET VAR p_Net_NetLocalGroup TEXT = (CVAL('NETLOCALGROUP')) SET VAR p_Computer = (CVAL('COMPUTER')) and probably use an &variable to build your string. Hope this helps.

I want to use the Loadfilenameplus plugin and have it come up with the topmost level, which would be "My PC" when I just bring up windows explorer on its own. That way the user can start with his own Pictures or Documents directory, the hard drive, and all network drives. I don't see a way of specifying that top level with the "initial_dir". Is there a way to do that? Here's the most basic syntax of what I'll be doing, with the root of C showing. PLUGINS loadfilenameplus.rbl "vFilename|fullpath on + |TITLE Please select your Complaint JPG files + |VIEW_MODE Details + |FULLPATH ON + |NO_CHANGE_DIR ON + |INITIAL_DIR C:\ + |FILTER JPG Files (*.jpg)#*.jpg" Karen -- For group guidelines, visit http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
