really well maybe I'll go try it again and see if I can get it to work this time... when I went into TMPG to look for them, they were there but when I went to try and load them into the settings for the templete etc they didn't show up unless I change the files to .all file names....
thanks again... I'll post if I have any more problems and hopefully give you some better detail
well shortly after I and tried it again and realised that when I saved them they were saving as .txt files instead of the of .mcf or whatever they are so I just went and "renamed" them and now they work...
thanks for the inspiration
