I only installed it on my Vista laptop so I'd have a mobile sync base for when I travel and Outlook 2K doesn't work right in Vista, and I'm not ready to spend the kind of money required to upgrade my old version of MS Office. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol Tips for the Innocent Bystander: 33. If someone chasing after someone else asks you to catch the latter, feign incomprehension. If you comply, you'll either catch the hero (and thereby play into the villain's hands), or catch the villain (who will waste you or use you as a hostage).
