Dave, Worked great.
Thanks Steve -----Original Message----- From: David Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 1:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Selecting files from local work station Sorry Steve... I should've explained a little more. To answer your question, kind of. P_Image contains the file contents, and HiddenName holds the entire path to the file on the local machine. That's why you need to Tokenize the HiddenName argument. Keep reading in my previous post. It should explain it a little better. If you need more explanation, just let me know.
