Yes, indeed, although what usually happens is the user finds out eventually, somehow, what they wanted to know right at the start but didn't. At this point they are in a good position to say how this information should have been passed on. Unfortunately the relief at finding out what they needed to know is usually such that they don't. Well, I often don't. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
