So I'd suggest, if you're interested in trying this, that you use your 1.5.14 environment and swap in DLLs until it doesn't work. But keep your original DLL so you can "reset" it at the end. Start with the oldest snapshot and binary search your way in. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
