RE: lingo-l Update-- Still need help.
I've been majorly pissed off using FileIO to open files off read only media in WinNT and W2k. Just doesn't work properly on them. You can try using getNetText instead. the thing to do here is to copy the file to the TEMP directory, set the attribute to read/write and do what you will. it is the best way to deal with the problem. if you write a couple of handlers as a part of your basic reusable FileIO library of code (you do have one don't you?) you would have it forever! hth Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

RE: lingo-l Update-- Still need help.
Frankly speaking...I don't. Not for FileIO atleast.

Now if you're talking about Networking Lingo, then we've got plenty of code libraries on that. : if you do fileIO kinds of things more that 2x a year it would be worth your while to spend an afternoon writing a general purpose object to do all the basic things. it would save you a ton of time every time you reuse it, and once it is debugged you could have confidence that it would always work. I did it almost 5 years ago with only minor tweaks I haven't looked at it since. just my NSH opinion grin Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

Re: lingo-l Update-- Still need help.
Thanks. That fixed it. I am a dummy. (it's pride before a fall-- I was so proud of my read from CSV into lists which are sorted and searched routines, that I was destined to trip up on something stupid) Thanks, braintrust! Cory PS.

RE: lingo-l Update-- Still need help.
snip Thanks, braintrust! Cory PS. Watch for me on 'The Weakest Link' 8/20 on NBC, assuming the airdate doesn't get moved Oh you poor sod. I officially apologise for the United Kingdom (join in if you like Gerbil et al) for that lunatic Anne Robinson (if it was her you were up against Cory). We've been trying to give her the boot for years but not even I would have chosen to put you guys through the cringe-worthy irritation that is her on that gameshow and it's you are the weakest link - goodbye strap-line. Damn her - does anyone else see more than a passing resemblance between our own Anne and an ex-female lunatic Prime Minister of recent years?

RE: lingo-l Update-- Still need help.
But isn't the major problem with NT-based systems is that it is totally possible to get a computer that the CD can't write ANYTHING to? Roy, I don't have any first hand experience with this problem, tho I have heard about it happening. I've done about 6 really major projects which were designed for corporate systems that were standardized on NT didn't see the problem. I also did a project for someone that was repurposed probably 30 times into the same environment and I never heard of a problem. still, I can't say it does not happen I hear about it on the list occasionally. WHich is why you include Xtras in a folder and not compacted into the projector... well, that's not the main reason for putting the Xtras in a separate folder. projector load time control over what's there are the 2 reasons I do it. your milage may vary tho... grin Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

RE: lingo-l Update-- Still need help.
Speaking of NT, yes I've seen it happen. It seems most common in corperations with Nazi attitudes Employees may not use Web/mail for any purposes, employees may not even install Winzip without Exec It damager's permission, users do have only guest rights onto their OWN computers! Anyway, I even had a client, a polytechnic highschool, they came to us and told us they have heard wonderful things of shockwave, could we make them a new student's tutorial? Anyway, the problem was that the students had guest rights and could not even install the plugin successfully. The client kept demanding we find a way!
