I thought this was the answer but I had to ask for my own piece of mind..or what's left. The resason I asked was when I had copied some other files that had sockets in them I didn't get the msg,but when I asked I was told the sockets would remake themselves when the services (re)started. The hate msgs just confused me, not that confusing me is hard to do. thanks to all Mace
