Sue, You can use the Get( DesktopPath ) function and pre-build the name/path in a variable (v8 and up). See the Help file for this function.
FWIW - the Get( TemporaryPath ) function in v9 is also useful because the files are saved to the Temp folder, then deleted at restart. -- Steve Gerow FileMaker 9/8/7 Certified Developer President Abrazos Data Consulting, Inc.
