Bottom line -- I'm not sure we should change the java download to version 6 over 7. Maybe others feel there is a compelling reason for this downgrade, I don't know. as an FYI -- I have java 7 installed and no problems so far. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "I would rather have a donkey that takes me there than a horse that will not fare." -- Portuguese proverb
