Did you have the ability to update the APF libraries? If yes, security isn't going to be able to constrain you. If no, but you have access from another system - ditto. If not at all, it would not help you to copy the APF-program to another library as it will not be APF when you execute it. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
