Hooray it is now working.

I simply deleted the "URL list" I though if field 1 is a list, then asking 
to put field 1 somewhere would do the trick.

I'll post the app source later. It would be usefull for anyone wanting to 
search a directory for a filetype and copy it somewhere else.


Thanks again

Bob
