Hi Howard I had a similar situation with work. IE just wouldn't function properly on my Mac after they'd updated it. The only solution I found was to use Parallels and a virtual Windows XP. That works a treat. A bit costly but worth it. Parallels + XP also enabled me to access online banking again with the bank's software, Rapport ,as protection. (My bank upgraded their website which prevented me from using it on the latest version of Safari.)
