Jan, a few not quite random thoughts:

Can you force the download to a known directory - wherever the scratch files 
are, say - and then let the user operate on it from there?

Or maybe take a copy of it to some known directory so it can be found if/when 
it gets lost...

Copy the file into a variable and then save it?
Can you get the path into a variable?

Regards,
Alastair.

  Marc, 
   
  While it looked like a good idea there was a couple of issues. 
  1. FINDFILE will look in the current directory and in the DOS path. 
  So if the file was saved somewhere outside the path nothing is found. 
  2. FINDFILE requires the name of the file to locate. If the user downloads 
  five files, I don't have a filename to locate. 
   
  Nice idea though. Thanks. This user is getting more used to idea that 
  she does have to do some work. I can't do it all for her ;) 
   
  Jan
