It could be this is not the one you expect. It seems like I can create the new alias but the old one is not deleted and the new one doesn't stick. It appears for a second then disappears. The prompter of this issue was that Tiger aliases retain their original location and Leopard aliases do not. I rename the old path to Users/client/PreviousProgramName and the alias follows, whereas in Leopard, the alias is hard coded to the original path Users/client/ProgramName. An alias that is hard coded to the original path sounds more like a symbolic link. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
