Dear Len,

Are you sure that the code between "if gSaveInputPath then" and "end  
if" doesn't run at all? What if you put "beep" right after the if  
statement? Make sure tu check the result after saving your file. If  
the file can't be opened and you don't check the result, no  
exectution error occurs and you may never know that something went  
wrong.

Best,

Mark
