Hi Sims, Have a look at the Transcript Dictionary entry for 'request AppleEvent data' -- this will explain how you can extract the path from an 'odoc' event. As for drag-and-drop onto a card : that's coming soon, as in RunRev 2.0 we'll be able to pick up files and blocks of text that are dropped onto our windows. If you need a solution right away, have a look at the RunRev Externals Collection by Tuviah Snyder : http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/developerdownloads/externalscollection.html Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
