Thanks Paul and Alex and Richard,

I ended up using Paul's code:
on mouseUp
  answer file "?"
  put "binfile:" & it into tFile
  put the length of URL tFile / 1000 & "KB" into fld "myResultField"
end mouseUp

It works just great!
Larry

Larry,

Try:

on mouseUp
  answer file "?"
  put "binfile:" & it into tFile
  put the length of URL tFile / 1000 & "KB" into fld "myResultField"
end mouseUp

Hello,

I know I can use:
put the files into field "Current Files"

to get the size of a file (in bytes), but is there any way to use "answer file" or some other way to get the size of just one specific file?



Thanks,

Larry
