Hi Jack, You know I have never heard anyone else having that problem. I never read my options and always "double click" on the file and the dialog goes away and I am stuck with having to go back to an older version. I was thinking about it last night and thought that it wasn't the best choice. You must have been reading my mind. I will add it the "wish" list for future releases. Don Funk There is 1 Reply.

Don: In my case 'replace' is exactly the default option I prefer; I rarely 'merge' any text. If you're going to change the default I hope you make what the default is an option. While I have your ear, I would also like an easy way to 'save'/'replace' the text from a number of files at once. I often save the text-files to do off-line editing and having to save/replace file by file is inconvenient. LEE There is 1 Reply.

Hi Lee, Yes I too agree that the merge should be the default. I have added this as a suggestion for future release. Also there is no way in VB to save *all* files as a text file(s) at once. This has already been suggested for future releases. Thanks, Don Funk There are 2 Replies.

Don, NO! Please don't change the the default to MERGE! It's enough work now to save/replace modules now in order to clean them up, and making Merge the default would only make it more drudgery. How about a simple macro of some kind to save/replace all modules prior to a compile? That would be fantastic. –dennis

Don: I think you mis-read my response — I want 'replace' to be the default. If there are plans to change the default to 'merge' then IMO the default should be configurable. I'm glad to hear that save/replace of multiple files at once is on the suggestion list for the future. Any idea if it's being planned for the next release, or will the wait be longer? LEE
