I just tried it again to verify . I copied the file H732.hbk out of the zip-file to C:\\ Created an empty tree under Hiarcs7.32 in the Hiarcs-folder called test.ctg. Pressed ALT-SHIFT-G and it works without problems ( means translation starts ) . You should press ALT and hold it , SHIFT and hold it and then g and the conversion starts . ( SHIFT is the key you use to write uppercase ) . At the moment I have no further idea what could cause the problems you experience. regards. pete
