Hello from Gregg C Levine Phil, that's a normal idiotic diagnostic message. It's also written to be as insulting as possible to the user. For myself IE has been throwing those for a longish while now. Office products have been behaving themselves for a while now.
Oh, and what sound did your error make? Mine swore in the language and phrasing normally used by one Picard. And yes I am aware of that blurb, just not its contents. IDG is about the only consulting and reporting firm, that comes close to making sense. One other firm whose name I won't mention doesn't. Do what I do when Office complains, complain back, and restart the program. On another note, how's the weather where you are? And where's that so I can properly fix it in my mind. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
