Thanks, much appreciated

I'll give it a go. It's a shame that it's not just a case of getting rid of all the c:/clients blah blah from the beginning of the path so that you can simply use 'video/myvid.avi' as the local path like you can in Flash or dreamweaver.

Check out the @ indetifier in the help menu. It can act as a wild card.

But with director I find absolute paths are always better than relative.
