Well, a user can accidentally or intentionally put a file in a place where Spotlight is blind (either because it is hard-wired not to look there, or because it is one of the places designated in the user's Spotlight Privacy prefs), and then you are SOL. Whereas, if a file is moving around the same hard drive, an alias (once formed) always works. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
