That was activated and made no difference. As far as I know, that only
applies to webpages that need passwords. It remembers what was entered
the last time you entered the site. It works like 'Gator', which I have.
It is a moot point anyway. There were so many other anomolies with NN
6.0 and M18 that I uninstalled both.
Thanks for the response.
