Hi Peter,
Actually nothing changes - except start point of consecutive getfile()
if file in some other directory is selected.

Try ;

? set('default')
? set('path')
? allt(sys(5)) + allt(sys(2003))

cFile=getfile()  && select some file in some other folder

? set('default')
? set('path')
? allt(sys(5)) + allt(sys(2003))

**and then again 

=getfile()

Well, my wrapper fixes nothing then :)) , just ensures that getfile()
always starts from the same point.

If this is NOT Brenda's problem then I need a nap as well :)
