i have a form called file list. it is a small form with a filelist(1) a command button (openfile) and a hidden text1.text. whenever a file is selected text1.text displays the loacation, it adds Edits\ behind it so it would appear as Edits\myfile.file. you click open, it opens up a window with that file in it. the window that is open has the code to find the file and everything (me.txtarea.loadfile filelist.text1.text) this works fine. BUT- when you make a new file, and it saves it in Edits\ of course, and you select the file in the filelist, and click open, it gives an error saying that the path can not be found, it hilights this code "Me.TxtArea.LoadFile FileList.Text1.Text" What is going on??

This doesnt make sense. Should it be
instead? Ruairi

ok, i understand now. If you were to look at the edits directory in explorer is the file there? can you open it using notepad or wordpad? I would also be interested to see the code that is being executed to save the file. Ruairi
