Hi Tom, I just finished installing the Platform SDK (it didn't work yesterday on my XP Home laptop for some reason) and I thought you might be able to answer this question. The Platform SDK requires certain paths to be added to the Options dialog. By default, it puts it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\. We can manually change that to $(ProgramFiles)\Microsoft Platform SDK. Do you know of any way of creating $(NewKeyword) variables so that we could use them? Also, if possible, could you ask Microsoft (you're as close as I can get to them :-)) to add the option for the dialog to scan the path and convert the largest folder path to a $(SpecialKeyword) automatically whenever you close the browse dialog. I think that would be a very nifty feature. Thanks. "If only one person knows the truth, it is still the truth." - Mahatma Gandhi Web - Blog - RSS - Math
