Hmm, Yes it does look like that... I can't see why just yet. It has
worked perfectly well for many years but I have to admit that the code
looks messy and this is a good opportunity ot clean it up. Thanks to
Bertil and yourself. Regards Paul.

Well now I am really confused, but much happier. I turned on my
computer when I got to work this am after having struggled with this
until 9.00pm last night and believe it or not, the old code now
works... no spitting the dummy or any thing. Now it did not work last
night when I turned off my computer. BTW, it was of course
re-booted numerous times yesterday during the re-install process. the
only thing I can think of at this time is that I have also had some
problems with the fax modem and I had to change the ini setting in the
PDF995 file but I did those yesterday... Hmm. Thanks once again. Paul.
