Only the relative path and file name is used to find matching files. The most likely cause for it thinking they are unique is that they are only in one of the folders you've given. Are you sure they have the same directory structure and you're not accidentally selecting a sub or parent folder instead? -- Deanna Earley (de...@ea...) web: http://www.earlsoft.co.uk phone: +44 (0)780 8369596 |
