Hi Rick, Many thanks for that. I now realise I was confusing SP2 and Sedna. I know Sedna has some enhancements and assumed that SP2 and Sedna were the same thing, obviously not! Doh!!!
I'll send out new runtimes to my clients when I next send them a mod, fortunately (or unfortunately) I don't have many <g>. Thanks again.
