That was you can create as large a virtual hard drive for Executor, as they take up actually no room (or very little) until data is put into it. This doesn't tie up your drive with an unnessarily large file, leaving room for it to expand. And if you have to do late minute house keeping to accomodate a growing .hfv file, it's better than starting out with an .hfv file that is too small in the first place. And if you need the speed later, you can always free up an uncompressed drive and copy your Executor directory to it. But I've noticed you can't have .hfv files on more than the directory that Executor is in (or am I wrong there). Does Executor look for .hfv files in partitions other than the directory it was started in? Eric
