thanks so much David. i wanted you ask you something about browse windows if you know...

the code at the bottom of the screen creates three buttons - the third is a browse button, so the user can search for a particular file. Do you know how to have a drop down browse box in pop up window?. Theres so little documentation on this sort of thing. i was hoping you would know something about it....

i know that this line will create a browse pop up:  var targetFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Import items from folder...");

but i want to be able to have it as part of the window.

If you know anything that would be a great help, thanks, Sam
