Why do they have to see the DOS box? I get file lists this way without it being obvious to the viewer. I think I even have a stored procedure to do this. << (2) I can do a while loop to some finite ending number. >> This will also work. If you do it, use CHKFILE() to check for the existence of the file (not LAUNCH). But if the rev numbers begin to get high (above maybe 100) this could introduce a noticeable lag into the program. -- Larry
