Glenn, did you give yourself R/W access to UNCHECK? (-:

Now I'm confused. If you couldn't see the files, how then did you HURL them?

Did you check all of your upload paths? I run Max from OS/2 Warp and Win95
and have not had the problem you're talking about.

All of my upload paths are to UNCHECK. That's the safest way to protect not
only yourself, but your callers as well, regardless of your file area size.

Just remember you asked for this. (-:
