I'm also not sure I understand your problem. Usually, if your file is changed, you can use File->Revert to Saved. This should give you the new version of the file. I've been working on a mechanism that pops up a messagebox indicating that the file you're editing has been changed on disk. I'm not familiar with Dropbox, so I don't know whether it will help you out in that case. > > - christian wilhelmsen Vincent
