So this seems just like another bug. It's more like a 'feature' left over from the 8.3 days. That was used to specify no extension at all, because the '.' was implicit in 8.3 names anyways. If you want to actually use a filename that ends in a '.' you must include the filename in quotes. -- (\/) Endlisnis (\/) s257m AT unb DOT ca Endlisnis AT HotMail DOT com ICQ: 32959047
