I took your advice and changed the list to read "98", "ME", etc.
Here's the deal. I have a small executable and several dcr files. When I open the dcr file from my executable I get "98" detected. If I create a projector instead of a dialer I get "ME" detected. If I call the htm file I get "ME" detected. So why when I call the dcr movie from the exe do I get "98"? This happens on all the alternative lingo I have tried including using Buddy API. Any one have an idea?
