Bill, Check all the FORMS involved to make sure that on the form property "Clear variables on form exit"is not checked. Thanks for your help. It was partially successful. However, the main variable which calculates all my other vars keeps getting cleared for no apparent reason and I'm getting really frustrated. In my defined variables I have ; vpropid INTEGER = propid I have located a DBEdit field defined with the field PROPID What I can't comprehend is why my variable vPropid keeps getting cleared when there is absolutely no code or setting to clear ANY field, variable or eep in the entire form. It seems when I tab through bit buttons, the variable is clearing, destroying the file location variable before it can save the file. Bill Eyring

I just used it in a Push Button OnClick EEP and it worked. Since you (probably) don't have a user named jjkramer on your system, you will have to edit the vmyfpath variable, but otherwise it should work. I ran this code on 9.5.2.11008 x64 on Windows 7 Ent x64.
