Hi, Thanks. I'll do that and report back, I don't expect it'll be a quick process. One thing how do i determine results of these updates? I know the packages sometimes put messages to the screen, only the last of which i can get at, if a package way up puts one onscreen i miss it. I've tried a script command to try to capture but the output is compilations. Thanks. Dave.
