Jim,

I only wish I could keep UT loaded on my PC all day at work. I'm sure I miss a lot of good ideas and fixes. I find it an invaluable reference (as well as some excellent stress relief). Thanks for the tip on debugging, but sometimes the elastic bands and bubble gum solution can lead to better ones. I think it's time to spend the few $ on becoming a full member.

The ohter approach, adding fixes without understanding why it isn;t working just causes a "schewing gum and spit" solution that will be riddled with situations that are not clearly defined and add to the difficulty of future debugging.
