You're welcome!

I tend to check this board several times a day, but it seems to have been quiet for
some time now. Usually a person would get several answers to their problem. I guess
you can say you lucked out that "someone" monitors the board ;).

Hopefully it will pick up soon, I've got a question out here about the Conference
CD availability and usually a Datawatch Rep answers. On second thought, that may
be where they're all at :).

Hope they get back soon!
