Klaus, Thank you so much. You were absolutely spot on with your diagnosis. I made a quick change to the code you posted to 'delete the last item of tFileName' instead of the first to get the full path and it is working perfectly, every time. I had wrongly assumed that the IDE was managing the folder...

Hi Klaus, There's not much left at this stage because I've cut it to bits so much. There used to be error handling and a lot more in the code but it's all gone now, in an effort to try to work out what is happening.

I've cut the script to bits to try to see what is happening and it is now driving me up the wall - there's not a lot left to cut an...

Sorry about this one, it's a total noob question. I've been programming for over 30 years but I've only been playing with Revolution for a couple of weeks. I've spotted something unusual this evening and I'm just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on it. I'm running on Vista-32 ...
