Scott is right. Setting the defaultFolder to some folder that's not on the disk to be ejected will also let you eject it (a little simpler than using the files function). (Basically, if an application is using a folder as its current working directory, the OS will mark that directory as being in use and won't allow you to eject the volume. It's the same as when you have a file on that disk open and therefore can't eject it.) -- jeanne a. e. devoto ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jaedworks.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I believe if you set the directory to another volume other than the CD you should be able to eject the CD.

You might try to just add a step that gets the files of your desktop folder (or other) and just not use them. Kind of like a way of releasing the files of the ejectable volume. Hope this helps.

ejecting a disk after using "the files" funtion
In the last edition of the Runtime Revolution Newsletter there was an article on “Listing and Sorting Files in Revolution”. The article included a demonstration stack “File Lister.rev”. I took that stack and wrote a snippet of code to save the file lists it creates. I have been trying to use it to catalog my back-up CDs. It works great for creating the file lists, but I have a problem: When I try to eject the CD I just cataloged so I can go to the next CD, I get this message, “The disk (here it puts the name of the disk,) is in use and could not be ejected.” I find that if I then use the function “the files” on a different disk it allows me to eject the disk I just cataloged. How can I get the function “the files” to let go of me CD so I can eject it and go on to the next CD?
