Yep Alan, that would work too. That is how I used to do it before I came across "Copy File Path and Name using Windows Explorer Context Menu Extensions". This context menu addition allows me to right click and then left click after which the complete path including the filename is copied to the clipboard and ready to go.

Hi, I want to do a similar thing, but did not find a way to do it using only Macro Express (I'm using Pro). I'm running XP and use this utility "Copy File Path and Name using Windows Explorer Context Menu Extensions" (http://www.gnostice.com/nl_article.asp?id=168) to get the file or folder path to the clipboard using the right click context menu. I then use an ME hotkey to run my macro that sets this path to a string variable from the clipboard. I hope this helps. Or maybe you discovered by now a way to do this using only ME? Mike
