Hi Derek,

There doesn't look to be anything wrong with this script, but there are 
2 things you could check:
1. check what newData contains before writing it - maybe it really is 
empty for some reason and it isn't the put URL at fault.
2. check the defaultFolder - maybe your Preferences.dat file is being 
written in different places at different times.

HTH,
Sarah
