Thank you so much for all your help!!
I did not put the "." after the CHDIR

I assume the service pack is essential, so I will plan to download late tonight. Is it like other downloads which has an accompanying "install.exe" program?

Is there an explanation why the method call form1.method() worked fine in another form in the project and not the one I'm having trouble with?

One again, thanks for the help. I don't know what I'd have done without the help I have been getting from this site!
