And my very best wishes to you, Dave -- and to my fellow Rev/MC users on this list. I don't know if you've considered the following "trick": -- try do "open secure socket to tHost" catch answer "This version of the engine does not support secure connections." & return & "Do you want to open a regular socket instead?" with "Yes" or "No" if it is "Yes" then open socket to tHost end try -- As the open secure bit is inside a 'do' statement, the compiler wouldn't peep, and the 'try' should catch any errors. No clue if it works or you, but I thought I'd share my idea. Happy New Year, Jan Schenkel.
