Thanks for your response Erich. I did some playing around last night and it seems that that same filter applies to Eigerstein which works ok. Must be a matter of when its applied??
The link you sent me leads to a help page made available by Lynn Avants but doesn't say anything about this problem (not that I saw). Is it the page you meant? Thanks again.
