They could make it vastly better simply by: 1) Asking if you want the data saved 2) Storing the file in the same folder where the PDF resides on disk, with a name that is the same as the file names, plus some specific extension. At least then, you would also have a clue that their "save" does not implement a proper PDF form save at all. Dan
