Not sure how I tell, googling suggests that an "x" in the permissions says its an executable and it has rwx in the permissions (nothing else) but I see this is the same as other files that aren't labelled as exec. Indeed every file doc, excel etc is labelled with rwx in the permission. But an excel file I have just been sent has permissions -rw-r--r--(644) Compared with an existing excel file whis has -rwx-------(700) It seems that all the files I brough back from the back up into the fresh install of Snow Leopard have had their attributes changed to rwx I think this is very much a Mac problem now, so I will move this to a mac forum. But thanks for your help. Graham
