Hi--thanks for the info.
I have an array of file names that the user can choose from to import into my tables.
They are sequential files ( repro from VSAM) on a mainframe that they will have to
download to their computers. Thus, I have to let them go find them on the C: drive
so I can capture the path.
I thought GETFILE() wouldn't give me the whole path.
I'll keep at it! I really appreciate your help.
Becky
