Matt, I agree, that kind of thing should be immediately looked at by Protel programmers. I think it's a little late to complain about anything with 99SE and expect something to be done about it. However, if a known 99SE (or 98 or whatever) bug has propagated into DXP, then we should scream to have it fixed.
