Thanks. I tried that and had some problem. don't remember at this point what it was. Anyway, since it wasn't clear I could fix it in a few minutes I brought the machine home with me so maybe this weekend I can find some time to fire it up, fix the link, and get started on updates. We'll see. I wish it didn't completely remove the profile but just gave you a warning that you were using an outdated profile like it used to in the old days. Again thanks! - Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
