Does the Mac know where your download folder is? Can you fire up Terminal and do: cd /Users/<shortusername>/Downloads or cd ~<shortusername>/Downloads and end up in your Downloads folder? like this: dbdev2:Downloads johnson$ cd /Users/johnson/Downloads/ dbdev2:Downloads johnson$ pwd /Users/johnson/Downloads dbdev2:Downloads johnson$ cd ~johnson/Downloads/ dbdev2:Downloads johnson$ pwd /Users/johnson/Downloads If not this is one of those 'weird cases' I was talking about; it's reasonably easy to fix. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
