Got it to work. The only error is the messagebox in the form has the 2nd and 3rd parm reversed. The other problem was by myself when I retyped some contants to uppercase, I mistyped 2 of them :o Which makes me ask why it wasn't caught as an error? ADCLOCKBATCHOPTIMISITC and another one. Since there was no value defined for it shouldn't it have compiled to an error?
