If by select you mean selecting the folder and clicking OK when prompted to do so, then yes, I have selected the folder. I am wondering if my running on Parallels might be the issue, but it should not, and I was having the same issue on a Windows desktop yesterday.



Of course, there might be a chance I am using it wrong. This is what it looks like at the start:



I don't doubt it is working properly for you, so I can only assume I am trying to do something wrong.

It could make all the difference in the world. The folder/path structure is completely different on Macs and I doubt the Dir() command would work there, either.

All that suggests is an implementation error.

OK, I have just tried again from my Windows desktop and it works incredibly well! It was definitely the folder structure. Thanks a million! Now I just have to work on my regexes to find words close to each other, but beyond that I am set.

Thank you so much!
