On my system, I have it set where it does not hide file name extensions.. except for the hidden system files of course. > If you have file name extensions hidden and select an item in the putfile > dialog, it may reflect that setting by keeping it hidden from view but it's > still there, giving rise to the prompt about the duplicate file name. > > If everything was working as expected, the string you get back would include > a file name extension even if it's hidden from the user's view, so your > program would be able to know exactly which file to write to. > > If the Windows API is returning the string to Rev without the extension even > though it's present, that would be a bug in Windows.

The inconsistency between typing or selecting with a mouse is what was throwing me for such a loop... of course it didn't help that I was too tired (brain dead) to keep track of all of the code varieties that I tried. :( Still haven't had a chance to try Jacque's work around yet, but I'm confident that she has me out of seep water. > Either way, it may be worth a moment to file a bug report on it: > > <http://quality.runrev.com/> > > Thanks for turning that up. Good find. Will do on the bug report... ...first one I have personally ever run across using Rev, having used it to one degree or another for almost five years now. The "degrees of use" though has changed quite a lot though, since I have seldom used anything but Rev over the last couple of years.
