Then you can code this in your if statements if [ -f $FILENAME ] ; then fi And it will not work. This is not valid /bin/sh scripts, because most systems actually use ksh or bash you think you are safe and then you need to move it and it does not work. This is a little more complex. Don't do this unless it is necessary. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
