As Michael has pointed out it looks like my system is not fully working and I think it's still beyond my skill set at the moment and it's taking too much time to sort out. I have an old Dell Dimension R350XPS here with a PII 350MHz proc. and 256MB RAM, I think I'll give that a try and see if I can get back on schedule with my project. Thanks again for the help gentlmen I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again soon... ;) Linn Thanks again
