That seemed to do it! It was a path issue. Thank you soooo much for
all of your help, you guys ROCK!

Thanks for all the help! I'll give these a try and let you know how
it comes out.

This is exceedingly strange. :-)
The only way it could possibly be "compiling" the file
is if your IDL paths are all higgly-squiggly. Now, this could
*certainly* happen if you are allowing IDL to set up your
paths for you. But if you have been reading this newsgroup
for any length of time, I find it hard to believe that
this is so.
In any case, since it is IDL 7 we are talking about here,
I would just make ABSOLUTELY sure that your projects
are NOT mucking with your IDL paths and that all your
path directories are being set in the PATHS preferences.

Maybe that will straighten things out.
You might find my PrintPath routine helpful in sorting all this
out. I know I certainly have. :-)

Could you just make a .pro file that restores the rest of the files
you need?

Perhaps my terminology is incorrect. Yes, I have a created an
ENVI .sav file and added it to the save_add directory. This is a save
of many routines that use both ENVI and IDL functions and procedures.
My issue is that it doesn't "RESTORE" the file everytime I open an
instance of ENVI, sometimes it merely "COMPILES" the file. When it
"RESTORES" the .sav, my toolbar exists and everything works great!
however, more often that not, it "COMPILES" the .sav and my toolbar is
not there:(
When I refer to RESTORE and COMPILE above, I'm referring to the
messages I get in the IDL console upon startup of ENVI, NOT the
commands. Hope this helps to decypher my previous message.
Thanks,
Brian

This doesn't make sense to me. An ENVI save file will
contain some sort of IDL procedure or function that will
be called from ENVI. These files are saved in the ENVI
"save/restore" directory.
If the file was restored, why would ENVI (or IDL, for that
matter) be compiling it?
Something fishy here you are not telling us. :-)

David
