Craig,

I'll give it another shot but, possibly because it is MS Canada, "up the line" seems to amount to a short line.

If I fail the next time I will certainly look for "Developer Relations" (the existence of which I had *no* idea!).

Thaqnks Craig.

>>So here I sit, entitled to all kinds of ancillary shipments from MS but with no way to get my address corrected so that they have a decent chance of getting to me.

>>I hope they have your address coded correctly!

>Jim, Microsoft farms this stuff out to a third party. I suggest you call them back and run things up the chain of command. If you are still experiencing problems, contact the Developer Relations and/or MSDN group(s) at Microsoft.
