Thanks David, I think Carol's got a way that does the whole lot in one hit. I have rather more folders than you do (smile). So I'll keep your message in case the quicker way falls apart. I don't trust these things but I refuse to forward the whole lot to myself so I can pick them up and refile them on a new machine. Cheers & thanks, Terry ************************************************************ DESCRIBE ONLINE - MAKING IT EASIER THROUGH TEXT Terry Robinson B.Sc 82 Albert Rd.
