Thanks for your efforts and the welcome Floyd
I guess you're right, unless I can get the down arrow to move down one step to select the next folder after each process of combining the tif files I guess its a no-go. This means I have to record the process right up to where I need the down arrow to move to the next folder and then repeat this. The only problem is that the applications file select dialogue doesnt default to the last folder it processed, in which case I have to get the focus to the top folder in the list using the home key and then get the down arrow to increment by a factor of one on each new increment so that it moves down 1, then 2 then 3 steps etc.
Would there be a way of doing this perhaps?
I notice that there are many applications that only allow you to visually navigate to the correct folders using an explorer type tree structure. Would it be the same for all these kinds of applications, meaning that there'dd be no way to get ME to point the application to the correct folder for processing?
I am still looking for another app that i can use, so my options are still limited. The multipage tiff files are in the same folder as some single page tiff files (CCITT G4). The whole point is to combine both types in the correct sequence and then get each page seperated in proper sequence. The app can do it, but so far only manually I guess.
Would a posted sample screen capture of the dialogue box do any good? perhaps someone will pick up on something that I'm missing?
