Let me follow up with something. I tried it again and discovered that I can export a file or section to the Mac OSX Desktop. I set up a folder under my music directory and dragged a shortcut to the finder left hand side and tried saving to that folder. It didn't export. So this would appear to be related to pathing. I also tried the full path through navigation to the one I had set up as a shortcut in Finder and it didn't work there. So I'm wondering if a directory is set up as a short cut, does DB have a problem with that. BTW, I was trying to enter some drum transcription in Sibelius, and it was just toooooooooo long a process. I fired up DB and it went very smoothly. Glad I have DB for these kinds of things. It's a great program. dave

Pardon my delay following up, I've been away the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately I've tried to reproduce this, but I can't -- I have no problem exporting a MIDI file anywhere I try. I wonder if there is some anomaly to do with the particular directory or pathnames involved in your specific case. If you fire up Console.app (in /Applications/ Utlities) does Doggiebox log any error messages when you try the export?

Thanks for the words -- great to know that the little guy can stand up to expensive professional software from time to time! -ben -- Ben Kennedy (chief magician) zygoat creative technical services http://www.zygoat.ca
