 Ok is this better on the quoteing Randall I found where it was at in
outlook 2007 an fixed it. 9 I'm forced to use outlook for now ). 

Thanks for the info John, I have a seatgate driver that I play with that is
usb an I think firewire , Might have to hook that up after my trip next week
an see what happens with it. I need to checkout Bru I have played with the
free version in the past with a tape drive. Thanks for the heads up on 4 gig
file size, My backup files size now is at 11 plus gigs an growing. I archive
every three months an do not do a backup nightly on the airchive stuff so I
can cut my files size down.
