Hi Charles,

Yes, it has been a while!

Still using the VFE app, but am in the process of moving it to the Web.

I tried exactly what you suggest; the problem is that if the user selects another path, then the one I programmatically set shows up, the user is confused as to why their path was not selected.

Thanks,

TFISHER
