Without meaning to be rude, this comes close to qualifying as a RTFM question, meaning that the information you need is either a) in the documentation, or b)obvious from the context of what you are trying to do. However, on the off chance that it is neither, I suggest that you post EXACTLY what the problem is, when it occurs, and what the error message says EXACTLY, so the other people can understand your situation. Since NO ONE is paid to support this software (it is, after all, Open Source, as you noted), we all do it because we like each other. Be nice, and we will like you, too, and try to help. -- Robb Aley Allan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helical Design Myron A. Minskoff, Inc. ACM
