Klaus,

I left out this bit code: (put arrayDecode(tPrefs)into tPrefs) So, my code looks like this:

IF the platform is "MacOS" then 
      if there is a file (specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "mileage_prefs") then
         put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" & "mileage_prefs") into tPref
       
         put arrayDecode(tPrefs)into tPrefs

                  put tPrefs["name"] into field "name" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs"
         put tPrefs["name"] into field "name" of card "one" of stack "mileage report"
  end if
end if

IF the platform is "win32" then
      if there is a file (specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "mileage_prefs") then 
         put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "mileage_prefs") into tPrefs
         
         put arrayDecode(tPrefs) into tPrefs
         -- now fill in all my data...
         put tPrefs["name"] into field "name" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs"
      end if
   
end if
