Scott, When I started using FEFF8.2 with Artemis (on a WinXP laptop), it took a day or two to get everything situated where Artemis would read the input file. For my ease of use, I finally created a separate folder under My Documents that I dedicated to FEFF calculations. At that point, every file generated by FEFF was written into that folder (provided that's where the FEFF executable is located) and Artemis became happy again and started accepting my input files. There is only one downside (so far), when Atoms generates an input file, I have to go into Artemis and copy that input file into the folder where FEFF is located before I can do the FEFF calculation. I tried the input file you sent to the list, and this method gives the needed files in one folder. I can send you a copy of the folder containing all the generated files if you would like (I would attach it to this message, but that would put me over the message size limit for the list). Attached is the Artemis file where I checked to see if Artemis imported the paths properly. Rich Mayes Barnes Group 450/452 Buehler Hall Dept. of Chemistry Univ. of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37996
