'We don't want useres doing that sort of thing...'). There is also an MPW Tool called Choose which will do the same thing (and some other nice stuff too...), though I don't know how you would call that from your application. The bottom line is that it can be done, but Apple's not going to make it easy for you :-) Unmounting on the other hand is REAL easy, just call UnmountVol like you would for any other volume and it will Unmount just fine... -- +--------------------------------------------------+ Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025
