>Terry, it's RUNTIME that's the issue. At the customer's site. With NO HOPE of knowing what file is needed.
It could also be viewed as a feature at runtime. The user gets the dialog - he calls the programmer - the programmer says, "..ooops, my appologies, I need to fix that. Let's select the file through this dialog while I fix it."
In this case production could continue while waiting for a fix to be shipped.
>What would you expect a user in the heart of Bulgaria or Transylvania do when he gets a dialog with "Open" as the only word in it besides the buttons, which I assume will also show "OK" and 'CANCEL"? Is my sentence construction that bad that even this couldn't be deduced from my original????

If a foreign language dialog appeared on my system I would think I had been hacked - or a child had performed an unauthorized download on pop's office system:)
