Really? If true, that's certainly a frightening discovery for me. I've always found that storing the GetSaveInfo string of a folderitem in a DB or XML file (Base64-encoded) to always work when retrieved later as long as the user has not moved or deleted the folderitem that it references. Is this not the case? Have I just been lucky in that it has always worked for me? Can anyone else comment on this? REAL? Since we cannot use AbsolutePath for storing folderitem paths for the obvious reasons that have been repeated on this list, and if GetSaveInfo cannot be reliably counted on, how do people store and retrieve folderitem references for later use? --Dave _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
