Alright, I'll take your word for it. :~) Is that link you gave me for a beta version? I'd probably prefer not to use a beta version.
I'll be back to working with FB in the next day or two, so I'll try to get more details on what I'm seeing. It could be a simple problem of not understanding the interface, but I didn't have any issues with the previous versions. One quick question, I saw something about "installing the trace version" but could not find instructions on how to do that. Is that really needed? If so, where are the instructions? Thanks for your reply.
