Hi Jim, Oh, I see. Yes, so what you did was buy JFW 3.5 with the SMA, and never renewed your SMA with Freedom Scientific. Those need to be renewed at least anually to be able to keep Jaws up to date with changes in the software world. If you fail to do that then Freedom Scientific charges a wopping upgrade price to get the latest version. Personally, I'd rather just pay the extra $150 anual SMA fee to stay up to date then have to fork it all over at once. Anyway, I'm surprised you learned Visual Basic by experimentation. I've always used books, and for my early learning I had professors etc which gave lectures and were around to ask questions to. Now, days I sharpen my skills or upgrade them using Safari's excelant programming online library. Anyway, I think we are beginning to really drift off topic, and should probably start drifting the topics back to gaming.
