Sorry Jim,
Yep, Launch. Wasn't quite awake yet when I sent my post.
I'll check, but I believe all IE5 or higher.
Short piece of code that does my help processing is below.
Works for 98% of customers (including network users).
I'm thinking it may be tied into how RBase "sees" network drive in the
mapping command. I'll try Troy's suggestion.
