Appreciate the input folks. I guess as much as anything else, I'm reluctant to start messing with my stack structure at this late stage of the game for a released product. I can pretty much guarantee there will be unforseen consequences!
On thinking about this more, I'm not sure I should really overwrite the existing version of the program with the new one. I kinda like the way RunRev does things in that their program file names include the version number. That means I can download a new version and run it to see if I like the new version without destroying the old version. In fact, I keep all the old versions of LC around. On a related issue, I do have a progress scrollbar during the download. It works fine but how do I change the color of the progress bar? I've tried setting the various options on the Inspector Colors tab but they don't seem to have any effect. Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> On Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 2:02 PM, J.
