Thanks Phil, RBNUBE, and Tom. Actually I am already doing the above (I save a little text file with the path string for the last file saved and it opens automatically). Actually one of the "features" of my program is that its highly transportable. I have the program and a "settings" folder in an overall folder. And the user can transport that to a thumb drive and take it to home or office. I have also noticed, that it makes installation a breeze - even on our high security Windows network (1000 users) - it seems that copying the app to the hard disk passes under the radar of the security system. Luckily I am not trying to do any mischief. And if not for this, then no one would be able to install the software without having someone from Computer Support there to authorize it. So for these reasons I am hesitant to go to an installer - although my Windows friends tell me this is standard and looks more professional. What do you think? (And I did buy a home Windows machine just for testing and debugging but don't have the same network security on it). _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
