Dan The OP had a good point regardless of whether anyone sees it as an attack on SA folks or whatever. When people design and build a system(s) of any type, there should be checks and balances designed in that can check and see if sub parts of the systems (or called by the system(s)) are broken or disappeared or what have you so that allowances / changes can be made in a quicker, more orderly fashion. Even if the checking mechanisms are external to the main system, maybe something should be written and tested??? Maybe there is something in the works already? :-) no, I cannot do it. I am more visionary than coder. - rh
