Yes, but the user has said they want it removed - I'm not about to download and install a new package just to remove it in a few seconds, that adds far too much complication at this point - I also think it's not usefull for anything but this single case. The best option is probably to try to detect this situation and abort. Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
