FYI "xxx has stopped working" is Vista's "user-friendly" way of reporting what Windows 3 would probably have called a "General Program Fault". It pretty much hides all useful information fro the end-user, perhaps on the grounds that end users wouldn't know what to do with the information it *could* provide anyway. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
