I have a number of files on my fm server. On workstations I have icons, each that has the ip address and file name to open (that's how they get open remotely through clicking on an icon). What I would like to do is have a small routine where a listing of a number of files come up, the user clicks on the file to open and the script translates that into a filename to open remotely. That would obviate the need for multipme icons on a screen. Click on one icon and then choose the appropriate file to open. Ideas?

This is what I use for my own files but it could easily be modified and distributed to your users. Let me know if this works for you.

Just got back from two weeks off. Thanks. I'm downloading it and will try to figure it out and fit it in. Thanks again.

Embarrassed to say I'm lost. The open file script is beyond me. On the portal, the arrow on the left and the x on the right, when in layour mode, seem to do nothing, but in browse mode the x deletes the portal??? Well, if you have the patience to explain it, fine. If not, I understand. I have a lot to learn, but I keep seeing more and more how powerful this program is as well as how little I know. Thanks. Mike
