Hi Marcus, The error is due to the reason that you have not put "budapi.x32" as a file inside the "xtras" folder in the same level of the projector. ie., your ".exe" file. Including the same inside projector won't go with some platforms. Rest of the commands no problem. Sometimes you have to include "budapi32.dll" too along with the "budapi.x32" file in the "xtras" folder, especially when dealing with special command strings. Cordially, Biju George. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
