Apparently you don't remember this error on the Windows 2000 machine and what you did to fix it then. ;-) I should point out that this is a perfect question for the email archives. You would have seen plenty of references and the likely solution. Install the 'rebase' package. Run 'rebaseall'. A simpler fix you couldn't ask for. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
