Pete,

>thanks I will, what I did with my Reg class was, I left the MS original as is, subclassed it and added methods which inserted the horrible bits like myappkey,myapppath etc... and called the base methods, it was pretty good for a freeby though

Frankly I didn't see there was anything there worth subclassing *LOL* So it got redone, the way it should have been done in the first place IMHO.

>Cheers I'm off for a pint

Have one for me, make mine cold though *s* I still have a few hours to go before it's beer time.
