Maybe a computer guru can offer suggestions on this.

Apparently you just copied the shortcut instead of the file itself. Go back to the desktop (or the BB directory) and find the shortcut. Right-click on it, select "Properties", then left-click the button that says "Open File Location". Once a directory opens up with that file highlighted, "copy" it via right-click then open up C:\BB directory and "Paste" the file in that directory and try re-building your styles again.

Pete,,,obviously that is what has happened (it's tough being technologically illiterate,,,LOL). Your suggestion works fine for copying the complete file instead of just the shortcut. Problem now is that when I go to "paste" I get a message that I must have administrator privilege to add the file. Since I'm the only one who uses this computer, I thought I had full control???? Not sure what it is safe to change in the way of security,,,or what implications a change might have??

From Start Button, Go to "All Programs", "Accessories", "Command Prompt". Right-click on "Command Prompt" and left-click to "Run AS Administrator"

Enter "cd C:\BB"

The prompt should now say "C:/BB>"

You will need the path of the file location and name (which you can get from the properties box from the previous instruction, then enter after the prompt like this: "copy file location/filename"

As you opened this command prompt with Admin priveleges, it should copy for you

Man Pete,,,I hate to be such a dummy!!! That all works real good,,,until I enter what I thought was the path/location (which I copied and pasted from the "properties"),,,it is C:\Users\owner\Downloads\c_price8.sty

Actually it reads "C:BB>copy file C:\Users\owner\Downloads\c_price8.sty" (no quotations)

Then I get a message that says something like "system cannot find this file"
