KIX32 comes with some NT tools thing I got from my NT college AUTOIT I downloaded from a web site i found out about from this news group. And Yes , it does look like a lot of work , but I am very happy now that it all works really really well ! Perhapps I should have charged for this ? But most of what I use I learnt was from here anyway. Have Fun , Josh +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
