yesno problem

[Barry Kahn]

I'm sending some array output to a second database and would like to  
have a dialog to select whether to append to or replace the data in  
the target db.

I have this:

yesno "Add to existing data? (No will replace)"
if clipboard() contains "Yes"

OpenFile "+ at theExportText"
    call AppendToFile
else
    call ReplacetheFile
endif	


AppendtoFile is this:

OpenFile "DB_9 all_items"
Window "DB_9 all_items"
OpenFile "+ at theExportText"

and the ReplacetheFile replaces the + with the &.

When I run it, I get "Sorry, the file won't open" -- although the  
target DB does become the front window.

Suggestions very welcome--as usual, I bet it's something simple.

Thanks,
bk
