Hi Martin
Actually if I run the script through the editor Photoshop has no problem
resolving the file path. It is only when I try to run the script through
Entourage that I have problems.
OK, so now I dumped it back into Entourage to try and get the error message
and it all worked fine. Grrrrrrr.
Thanks for the help
Steve
