Hi guys, First off, great job on FBtoC, it's truly incredible. Like being saved from MPW all over again! One situation... in FBtoC, Files$(_FSSpecFolder) seems to return the wrong values in parID and vRefNum. Correct in FB. Small sample below. Do the return values need to be further interpreted, or is there a work around? dim as FSSpec spec dim as str255 name name = Files$( _FSSpecFolder, "Choose a folder",,spec ) print "spec.name = ";spec.name, "spec.parID = ";spec.parID, "spec.vRefNum = ";spec.vRefNum Thanks, Deb Lake
