(Don't tell anyone that I use PCs too.) And thanks for the tip, a good reason to avoid Garmin. Active X access can be controlled by IE's security settings. Because it is such a great way to attck PCs it is often set to off or limited access. How to chnage IE's settings varies with different versions of IE so you need to look this up for your IE version. There is an Active X test page at www.pcpitstop.com/testax.asp. It also provides a bunch of tips depending on your test results. A good place to start. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
