Hi! Thank you for the response! I doubt I would have ever figured that out. I apologize for using this list for something like that since it wasn't a bug (although it sure looked like it).
I used to have a professional copy of XMLMind 3.6 but right now don't have the money to buy a current license, sigh. Hopefully someday soon I will get some investment money and if I can actually start to use this for commercial gain, I will purchase the latest XMLMind. It is quite a good product.
