Interesting... Can you include a search screen in later versions of the program to allow for search of the setup files?

This is for the people who voted with "one" globe. I think you guys could not do something like this "program". And for this reason you gave him a rating of one.

Anyway, I think Paul deserves more than 5 globes.

hi, I get a "Invalid procedure call or argument" error. The error comes from the line "Set LoadRequest(0) = Agent.Characters.Load(UCase$(Left$(File1.List(File1.ListIndex), InStr(File1.List(File1.ListIndex), ".") - 1)), File1.List(File1.ListIndex))" on Form1

Emilio Dabdoub. that problem you have seems to be related to the PEEDY character that you probably don't have installed, change the PEEDY to GENIE or MERLIN (check if u have thise characters installed on your system) and then retry.
