Hi Christian,

The thought had crossed my mind, but there are a number of other situations where (and I'm sure som I've never even heard off) where a dialog might pop up.
I'd just like to turn the effing things off, all of them , and handle the errors myself.
So I'll hold out for additional suggestions, but thank's for trying to help out.

R-

Peter
