I'm glad that it finally worked for you. I'm a bit of a sadistic fellow and so I usually attack the problems that don't have the obvious solutions. (Thus the quote in my signature is almost always one from Sherlock Holmes.) Sometimes I'll even attempt to recreate the problems on my own systems just so I can figure out a fix. In this case I wasn't willing/wanting to find and install a copy of your malware but I probably would have if the next couple of shots hadn't helped. Anyhow, glad it is working and there are lots of people better than I. style_emoticons/ Or so I let 'em think. <VBG> -- Galen My Geek Site: http://kgiii.info Web Hosting: http://whathostingshould.be "It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence.
