>>Just some FYI's that come to mind during my previous testing with this.

>>1. Assuming there is an embedded file in the EXE and an external one, you can force it to use the external one by fully qualifying the path to the file.
>>
>>2. The internal file can not be written to, so there is an inherent way to tell which one is selected via try... catch...
>>
>>3. You may be able to tell which one is selected by obtaining the full path to the file select using the DBF() function and if the folder does NOT exist (since it will specify the folder where is resides on the development maching, you can then tell that it is using the internal one.

>>Hope this helps.
