Thanks, Jacque. I am making a possible call to revDeleteFolder, so maybe that's the culprit. I'll do some more investigating. Shouldn't be too hard to rewrite that since the folder only contains files. I'll just try using the files function and then the delete folder command.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I was under the impression that specialFolderPath is part of the syntax in the engine and uses OS-native calls; it doesn't need to use shell. I don't think that particular function is the problem. However, a good many of the "rev" commands do use shell, since they are really just part of a scripted library. I believe, for example, that revCopyFolder and some of the other "rev" file management commands use shell. Those are the ones I'd look at. You can rescript some of those to manage files using engine-native syntax; shell commands are just a faster way to do it. For example, to copy a folder, you could get the file list from the folder and parse through it one file at a time, getting the binary content of the file, writing it to a new file at a new location, and then deleting the original. It is slower but it doesn't require shell commands. Other "rev" library commands can be handled similarly in some cases. There are probably a few that need shell, but hopefully you won't need to use any of those. I guess my point here is that you should look at the "rev"-prefixed commands and functions you are using as the most likely culprits. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
