What you are saying is that any %Quotestyle starting with these 3 special letters won't work. I just tried it and you are right. Well, your computerese is still better than mine. :-( MDP The *correct* syntax is to put the extra '=' sign to say "what MDP follows is a constant string and *not* a TB special quotestyle". Funny syntax. I can live with it, but will Joe Public? The extra "=" is contra-intuitive IMHO. MDP Sure, it will work without *to an extent*, but it misleading to say MDP "that is the way to use it" and may serve to confuse. Checking the Help, you are right again (and I am disappointed that, against my prejudices, this is actually mentioned quite clearly in the Help). I stand corrected. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas.
