Thanks all… Jeremy, that does the trick. Somehow when installing v18 on my MacBook it got checked ‘on’. Thanks!
On the new 4D Forum: I have checked it out. Personally, I like the way the this forum works. I guess I’m turning into a Luddite. But I like the 'background' aspect of the way it works, it just transparently goes to its own folder in my email and I can call it up any time to search in it or ask a question, I don’t need to do anything or log in anywhere, it's all just there waiting if I need it. I go way back to version 1 of 4D, (so I guess I do qualify as a Luddite!) but today I mostly write code to relax and to keep our own system (that dates back as far) running with system updates and functional changes and tweaks. I haven’t been very active on the forum for years, but I love seeing all the old familiar names posting here. This is such a great group of people who are always ready and willing to answer questions and help out.
