Hi, I have not seen a prior message from you on this topic. Can you be as specific as possible about what problems you are having? Try to give me a sequence of steps that reproduces a problem. One guess as to a source of problems is not having the Windows Script Host installed. Although most Windows computers have this, I have heard of some that do not. Search microsoft.com for the Windows Script Host 5.6 -- a free download.
