Two problems: 1 - wording is too long for push buttons 2 - new description misses out the critical part - that choosing to load the disk version will revert any changes you've made in the unsaved one I agree that what's there now could be improved, but I don't think your suggestion is a step forwards. Any other ideas? regards john
