This can be done in several ways (the program might implement all of them). 1) Allow a user to set a 'resume' folder that automatically gets all resume documents for any project being worked on. 2) If the resume folder has not been chosen or is missing (or is not implemented), check to see if the user opened a file to get in the program, and if so, default to the folder that file resides in. This way, whenever the user wants to 'play around' with that file again, the resume document is right there waiting. Of course, if the user sets a resume folder while working on the project, the resume document would go there instead of in the working file's folder. 3) If the user opened the application to enter the program, place the resume document in the applications folder. If the user doesn't have write access to the application folder (or to any of the other above mentioned folders), plop the resume document in the system folder or the desk top. (I'd definantly use this if #2 was implemented) You might want to provide an option box to the user so (s)he can configure things however they want, of course anything set here will override the above. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | From the Macintosh of: Kevin L.
