There is a difference between detecting & reporting and fixing. If the application crashes, you're not likely to get a decent bug report, just a frustrated user. If they get an error dialog that says "this module is bad, please report it to this email address..." you're much more likely to get a helpful report, IMHO. Paul http://paulgear.webhop.net P.S.
