When I am working on myApp on "Mac Mini 183" I would like to save the document on "Mac Mini 166" in a folder named "MacMini166 Shared" in "Mac Mini 166" Public folder. How do I do that? Thanks.

If it's already mounted, use: dim f as FolderItem = GetFolderItem( "Public:MacMini166 Shared:", FolderItem.PathTypeAbsolute ) But hard-coding a path is a bad idea. Better to have the user select the folder once, then store the string returned from "GetSaveInfo" somewhere like a prefs file. On the next run, you can recreate the destination from that string. If you download the MacOSLib package, there is true alias handling code and plist code within that will not only let you save an alias, but will mount the volume for you when you try to resolve it. https://github.com/macoslib/macoslib _________________ Kem Tekinay MacTechnologies Consulting http://www.mactechnologies.com/ Need to develop, test, and refine regular expressions?
