Seems I'm having another senior moment. No I'm not using Ant 1.8.0... next time I will engage my brain before reading responses (or at least try to engage my brain!). I have no reason not to upgrade, so will give this a go when I get a chance.
thanks for pointing that out Tom. And sorry Matt I didn't read your reply properly... [hangs head in shame].

Tom -----Original Message----- From: James Kennard [mailto:ja...@webamoeba.co.uk] Sent: 21 February 2010 11:11 To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Include Macros Defined in a Single Directory Hi Matt thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately import does not appear to support the <fileset> type. When running this I get the following error: "import doesn't support the nested fileset element". I had another hunt around the internet and found a solution (have yet to try it but it looks like it should work). For anyone who is interested take a look at Question 17 at http://wiki.apache.org/ant/AntNewbies james.
