thank you so much.....i knew it could be done but had the newgroup newowners reversed...

i have three folders of over 500 files to change and dread the idea of doing in manually...

again thank you so much....worked perfectly...:) :) :) :) :)

No worries :)

(The thought of doing anything on a computer manually just seems crazy anyway - they were pretty much designed for automating simple tasks !)
