>It would appear that there is a bug in the above commands, for when I enter a caption to instruct users to look for a file the caption does not appear at all in locfile() and in the wrong place in getfile(). Am I completely mad(no comment please on working on a Sunday) or is this a known bug and there is a fix for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recall this being a bug, there is an MS KB article on it, I believe.
