Hi Gragan,

Gotcha. And Brian gave me the resolving info. It's just that I've learned not to trust computers :-) ... especially ones running MS stuff. :-) Some of these problems are just really hard to track down, especially in a running COM server, so I begin considering all kinds of possibilities.
