Hi Ira I came across a situation while publishing a electronic data file. After producing the file in a separate folder and then trying to open the file I got an error message listing a number of reasons why the program could not find the file I had just produced. After clicking the OK button a dialog box opened listing the file I wanted to view. Click on the select button and the file was opened and things were just fine. Although each time I wanted to view the file using the electronic viewer the error message would come up. Here's why. I have two databases, dataA and dataB. DataA is set to open automatically when CFT opens. When I created the electronic file for dataA the electronic file viewer worked fine. When I created the electronic file for dataB and tried to open it is when I got the error message. I suspect the information to open dataA automatically was carried forward in the dataB file producing an error message when the electronic viewer could not find the dataA file, ! the files were produced in separate folders. When I deselected the automatic opening option the program worked fine for both files. To avoid the dialog box that asks which file you wish to view, the automatic opening option was selected for each database prior to producing an electronic data file. Jerry
