Hey Ralf, you were right. It is a timing problem. I just tried callLater(nominalLocateRequest); and it worked fine. Must be to do with the layers working together in the Janus exe wrapper.
Many thanks for the tip. cheers, Graham PS How do you use callLater with a function which requires arugements passed to it? I tried callLater(nominalLocateRequest()); initially which was refused. Leaving off the parentheses worked as stated. But if you have to send arguements ...?
