Mea culpa... My first post was a very lame attempt at being humorous al a Samuel Beckett --Watt listening to three frogs in a ditch croaking in every posible sequences... goes on for a couple pages, pretty funny. I was actually surprised to see this thread here instead of CF. I realy do figure that since the problems were brought up already early on and since most people are happy it really is my bad luck, which is why I have not complained. I just need to accept or not accept the situation. So far I am :) Got here today on the second try :) Status bar usual goes 90-95% before the freeze which is why I think it is the toolbars on the reply form that are the problem.

I am glad I didn't bum you out.

I used to code back in the keypunch days and I apreciate that the same code won't always run the same way on every machine... in the 21st century I imagine you have to multiplly that effect exponentially. There are  couple apps I would really like to use but that don't work for me, it is not the fault of the writers, it is an unfortunate and unfathonable mix of mysteries... GREMLINS! I figure each and every thing I load on my computer increase the chance that something could get mixed up in some incomprehensible way... this is why I think all computer software should be 500Kb or under ;-) Including the OS! WinDOS worked fine for me!

I am glad we are cool. I should think that there is an acceptable level of failure on a project like this... if you are staying in that tollerence... then no worries.
