Yes, in some versions of Fritz it seems to use the latest stringvalue as default and discard the default sent by the engine. An easy fix to this is to add the default value to the end of the list. Program = prodeo.exe w7 Rebel.eng Personality=setvar personality personal\%s.eng|combo|Rebel|...|...|Rebel The first 'Rebel' here is what the engine (adapter) tell the gui what it use as default. It is important that this value is the same as in the 'Program' line because this value isn't needed to be sent to the engine if the user didn't do any changes. This 'default' value must be repeated in the list so it is shown in the combobox, but because of this 'bug' it should be repeated at the end. Other gui's will get it right wherever this value exist so it doesn't do any damage to them. It's been avail since I tested this so it could very well be Ok in the latest Fritz's. Odd Gunnar
