Thank you very much NTDOC! I was hoping for a pointer in the right direction, not the complete TripTik

All I did was replace the c:\control value with @SCRIPTDIR, and pass off the result to the rest of my script.

From the first read through your code, it is obvious that you have saved me from a singular hell: While I'm sure this amounted to a minor flexing of your coding muscle, it is clearly something that would've taken me at least a couple of dozen hours to construct.

Thanks again, so very much!
