Ouch. Just as a matter of style and neatness I strongly suggest that people NEVER use spaces in filenames - it's just hideous and causes all manner of nasty bugs, especially in older applications. I'm amazed that Microsoft ever tried to implement such a ridiculous idea, but wherever possible avoid it. Spaces in filenames break numerous programs that I know of, and probably countless more besides. After all, they're going to cause havoc in any tokenised string parser, even if surrounded by quote marks (in many cases). Cheers, Col
