I thought that a macro was the way to go by saving it to a *.kby file and calling it with a PLAY MACRO(). I'm not fussy about how it's done. With the way I type and my dyslexia I don't want to do any more typing than I or anyone else have to. DYSLEXICS UNTIE!!

Daniel was right.

You just have to open the file with low level functions.
Copy the contain of the file in a variable.
Seek the value to replace in the string.
Replace it in the string.
Write back the file with low level functions.

Look at FOPEN(),FSEEK(),F...() in the help.

HTH :-)
