thanks a lot. my application is now complete. I will post the application as soon as i design it fully and deploy it. strings were not concatenating so i created labels and then concatenated them.

The openFileDialog object may be a better fit for your application. Again, sorry I misunderstood your question.

It would help to know what version, edition, media type, etc. :confused: Lost in the vast sea of .NET
