You know what would also be good? If you didn't expect people to read over 500 lines of code to find YOUR problem, because you can't be bothered to isolate the error. When you have a problem, send the SMALLEST piece of code the exhibits the problem, not the entire application. You can't rely on Chris (who apparently has no life, no offense intended Chris) being around all the time. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
