Hi Fred, No, actually that was what struck me with the 8/8 messages -- that the fix seemed to be the reverse of what earlier versions had required. Although I didn't have any problems generating from the 8 Beta, I haven't upgraded any production machines to 8 yet, so I can't test. In any case, though, it wouldn't hurt for the OP to try that particular switch to see if it makes a difference.
