Hi Steve, Yes, it can be changed. I changed my " Jaws for windows is ready " opening statement to something else that can't be posted! I had help in doing the scripting so I can't give you step by step directions on how to do it. I can only tell you that it can be done. Take care.

Unfortunately, I can't recall which one you'd need to edit. Perhaps one of the scripters on here will chime in and remind us both.
