Hi Matt, Sorry to hear your first steps in conversion were not a success. However, there's good news. The first thing you need to do, is compact your stack in HyperCard ; some suggest you should compact it three times or so, just to make sure. You can then either open this stack on the Mac version of Revolution, or you can binhex it, copy the .hqx file to your Windows machine, and open it directly from within Revolution. As you will have to tweak your stack before building a standalone for Windows, it's best to open it on that platform anyway, so you can make the necessary changes. Since you have allocated more RAM to Revolution, I asusme you're running the MacOS 7-8-9 version ? Have you tried downloading and reinstalling the most recent version 2.1.2 from the Revolution website ? Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
