Just curioius, Alex, why did you choose to use format() instead of:


put tAppDataF & "/Mindlube" into tAppPrefsF

Just habit... After using C, Perl, and PHP I start start to think in terms of the usual feature which in this case is the sprintf() method of building strings.


Just using "&" definitely makes more sense in transcript.

Although with more than a handful of strings to concatenate then I would start to prefer the format() method because I can separate in my mind the slots vs. the contents to be filled in to the slots.
