Ken, I completely agree that a config file is the way to go. I prefer a .ini
file over the registry, but the reason I was asking for the function to
find/replace code was because it would've been the fastest way to get the
program up and running, instead of me having to recode all the hardcoded
paths to pick up from a config file. It's a matter of deadline for the
moment, but not a long term solution. In fact we're rewriting the whole
thing in VB.NET and all the shortcommings and inflexibilities will be
addressed on this new project. However for the next year we'll have to use
what we have.

Thanks again

Leo
