>Thanks Dragan. This solved the problem.

Thank you for trying it out with IE - I'd probably never get around to do that :).

Generally, I prefer to use VFP's path functions (addbs(), just*(), force*(), and specially fullpath()) rather than try to compose a full path myself. My code would yet need to be tested, while I know that these functions work - I'm using them for 12 years now. No, 13.

One caveat only: the forcepath() function will discard anything up to the last backslash from the first parameter. So

forcepath("a\b\c.txt", "d:\e\f")

will yield d:\e\f\c.txt - a\b\ will be discarded. Which is where i got it over my fingers once :).
