Looking at this from a Windows-only end-users perspective, when a path is "shown" to them in a field, or "typed" by them into a command prompt, the separator they see and use is a backslash "\". So you are suggesting that every such path input by a user should have a replaceBackslashes function called before **using** the path in code to access files or folders - even though it works as-is. Well, OK then. ~Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
