Just curious as to how VDS 5 sorts the tools on the Tools menu? They appear to be sorted by the order they were added to the Tools directory. Though changing the file's created & modified dates does not change anything.

Check the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_USERS registry under Commercial Research. I think the tools are listed there, it would be a matter of modifying the order of the entries to get them listed in the order you want.

Do you know how to create one of those menus that read the files in a directory and list it in your script accordingly. That would be useful for sure.

I knew you could do it but I forgot how. Thanks.

Well that list the files but how do you launch them or add dymanic labels so it launches the associated program?

This is similar to what my Tech-Pro Utilities menu does.

You use option errortrap to trap the goto invalid label error and then parse the value of the event.

That worked like a champ. I was able to get it to work. I set an option that if the file doesnt exist to exit out of the errortrap routing. I typically dont use error trapping that often. Never even thought of using it for something like this. I guess I must wake up think a little bit.
