Hi Jim,

Well, I'm pretty sure the code is not the problem since it usually works fine on my pc (of course)....it always works for the developer <s>. Anyway, I received a suggestion from a friend to get the software patch (SP1) for Word 97. I didn't know this even existed but finally found a patch on MS's web site. The file is SR1Off97.exe. I installed it and so far appears to be working. But we'll see....it's only since early this afternoon.

Thanks for your response.

Piper
