Please anyone correct me if I am wrong, but IIRC dao is disk at once, which both writes to the disk and closes it so you can't write to it again. What the practical difference between the two is I am not sure, but I think it is like flipping that little thingy on the corner of the old floppy disks to make sure they cannot be written to anymore. But I could be very wrong. Personally I have been able to use cds I have not closed, and ones I have. Don't know if this helps at all, but I hope so, bit of a case of the blind leading the blind.....;-) rohan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
