I have put the sorted clip art in a zip file in my public drop box folder http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1115462/casource.zip Snag is it is 360 meg! So not sure what is the best approach for dealing with it. Could probably do with further sorting but at least there is a good start so anyone could refine it to their particular needs much more quickly than starting from scratch. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
