So, if I dump the new files into a folder say "not catalogued" and then via iView catalogue them won't iView show them in the "not catalogued" folder. Or, as I run them through iView can I direct the actual file to another folder, e.g., "catalouged"? This is the problem I just can't seen to get my mind around. Must be age. Michael. Against stupidity the Gods themselves struggle in vain. /Schiller/ On Sep 16, 2005, at 2:02 PM, Tina Manley wrote: > At 04:53 PM 9/16/2005, you wrote: > >> This is just what I am about to undertake.
