Thanks Jeremy. We'll have to catch up again soon. I'm sure you're as busy as me
at the
moment. It's just crazy and now citrix are coming out with Feature Pack 2 -
find me a week off
someone. I've got 4 new freeware apps on the way any day now, but I've just got
to get some
spare time to polish them off.
Cheers
