I'm reluctant to post the file our files area because I don't have the = original zip file, and I think it had to be "unpacked" a certain way. = (I'm not even sure what version of Access it runs under) In any case, we'll see what Stephen has to say about it. He had to run = and collect his kids so I expect to hear from him in the morning. (OUR = morning... not his) Good night. Peter C. Stuart, Florida ?
