Also, when I went to VISTA, there were serious problems. I re-packaged the macros to solve that problem. In essence, the size of a FUNCTION was dramatically reduced in VISTA compared to XP. Rather than figuring out why, I simply split things into more functions.
So, if anyone has that problem, please download the latest macros from my DeltaCAD page.
