Hi Paul,

I think you misunderstand my problem.  I have no problem creating a TreePath
object as the SaveAs dialog box, which has a duplicatate JTree structure
(directories only), produces one for me upon selection of a node in the
JTree of the SaveAs dialog box.  I then pass this TreePath object to an
instance variable into another class to hold.  At no time have I actually
clicked on a node of the JTree on the main interface.  I have only the
TreePath object and need to use that to signal to JTree on main interface to
select the node specified by the TreePath object.

Now, do you see?

How do I select a node programmatically using a TreePath object?

Alan
