Hi Jason, Thank you for your answer. I just want to assure myself - is it possible to do this like selecting two or more files (pep.xml after a tandem search) in TPP with the selection of one interact.pep.xml output file? Since I use the Windows TPP this would be the best way if it is ok. I appreciate your help, thanks. Pavel
