That would help a lot ... this is not a problem of "so the developer can fix his code" but rather so we can fix legacy code which other non-developers are currently using happily ... If *I* had written the code I would not have done it the way it is currently structured, but I'm not about to spend time re-engineering it ... I just want to plug the holes quickly so it continues to work. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
