Sure, I understand that. What I read her to say, though, was that she
had a pair of files named this way. It's possible to do but it isn't
possible to work with the files once they are named that way. The ":"
character is reserved by the file system. Since I misunderstood her and
you didn't, now I know what was REALLY going on there. Otherwise, I was
going to have to guide someone through renaming a file that the file
system won't give oyu direct access to.<G>
