Thanks has,
How do I select the "fixed" folder?
I don't want a "choose folder" dialog...
This should be the "source folders":
set the BELGIUM_FR to "FileTransfer_BEL:EUROPEAN_PAGES:BELGIUM_FR:" as alias
set the BELGIUM_NL to "FileTransfer_BEL:EUROPEAN_PAGES:BELGIUM_NL:" as alias
Already many thanks for your input
