Hi Brian, Is the problem that FB^3 automatically converts integers to the appropriate string. I seem to recall having heard that rumored - I think that encourages sloppy programming. Microsoft uses it in their Visual Basic. Since I haven't received my FB^3 yet, I probably shouldn't be responding to this, but???? I think if you change title$ = "Untitled "+n to----> title$ = "Untitled"+STR$(n%) that it may work. Don't forget that the STR$ function generates a space in front of it.
