Joe, Thanks for reposting the manual instructions. I was on the road and somehow managed to delete your first set of instructions by accident! Just as I was about to ask you for a resend you posted the latest and greatest saving me the trouble. Got my ref.mdb updated without a problem and it seems to work fb. Now to just get ST0R in the log! Thanks again for all your help.
