Uh huh... That actually makes perfect sense and I'm a bit annoyed I didn't catch it. So... methinks that if I code in for the recording to end on say a second or two of silence, and get rid of the CTRL+C, then the code should proceed as necessary. Then I neeed to figure out how to make it more secure per your heebie-jeebies. Okay, once more into the breach dear tutors! thanks for the help, Richard -- quando omni flunkus moritati
