I am uncertain whether you are using Ver 2 or 3. My guess is 3. Check Help About and see if it says 3.06. I forgot to increment 3.07 and t might be 3.07. Check the date on files. Most should be Mar 27, 2001. This would be Ver 3.07. If you have earlier version, I suggest upgrading. Since you are doing the rebuild regularly, my guess is you have an earlier version that has some bug. Ira ------------------------------------------------ Mr. Ira J.
