Thank you fobotcso. That sounds like a distinct possibility. Certainly it works fine with all those apps so you appear to have hit the proverbial. I suppose that it would probably save a lot of head scratching if I assume that anything coming out of Redmond is going to foul up something or other!

I think it's I.E. 6 - the uncertainty stems from using the dreaded AOL. Will check and report. Thanks again.
