Hi Wade, Never, Never use absolute paths to create folderitems! (Mac) Use the .child method. Using absolute paths to create folderitems always have been evil. I thnk you should use app.executablefile and then parent and child to navigate to your folder Sven E Sven E ----------------------- REALbasic 2007R1 OS X 10.4.8 Intel and 10.4.6 PPC SEEdit Maxi THE XHTML EDITOR FOR MACINTOSH http://www.seedit.info _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
