I'll just pick this one to reply, which seems interesting to me. I have to say, I mostly do just the very same: I turn on and off unknown files. So I find this quite remarkable. On the other end, I can't remember ever having wanted to see "C" files. Wait. Let me pull that notebook theme again... How about using a notebook on the left side with two tabs. "MAR" files on the first tab. "?" on the second tab, maybe with a tab label in red ("Unknown Files") If there are no "?" files, there wouldn't be a second tab. Question is, who wants to see "!C" files and where? Maybe more tabs? Probably not.... Damn. Cracking this UI wart is harder than I thought. An argument for the current solution is that I always see if the "?" box is checkmarked or not. If we hide that inside a menu we don't see it any more. Neither if it is inside a hidden page of notebook. As a side note, it annoys me at times that my selection is not persistent. But making it persistent may be a bit dangerous for newbies. They could miss an unknown file... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
