Todd, If Vistapro had problems creating the .VAN file it would have complained while generating it. If Vistapro found a subdirectory called ANIM from the directory it was installed in (usually C:\VISTAPRO) it would put the VANIM file there by default (C:\VISTAPRO\ANIM). If there's no ANIM subdirectory it will just put the file in the current directory — C:\VISTAPRO if you started it from there. If you started Vistapro from some other directory (say you're at D:\ and you typed C:\VISTAPRO\VP3 to start vistapro) the .VAN file would be created at D:\. In any case, look carefully at the directory name line when you specify the .VAN filename. It will tell you (and let you change) the location of the file to be created. You mentioned CD'ing to the Vistapro directory after creating the animation — indicating that you started Vistapro from somewhere else. I suggest that you always run Vistapro from it's own subdirectory to avoid confusion…. John.
