I work in very sensitive areas of the world and a generic or "code" name would be most valuable. -- Take Care, Paul Voyager v.3.86.03 on Win2k SP4-Rollup1 5.0.2195 No IMAP OTFE ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.86.08 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
