For some reason I can only picture the screen and a wav from "Jurassic Park' "Ah Ah Ah Don't touch that button!" And you know they would.
Good Luck Marc your hands our full. Also most holidays are celebrated on Monday, just food for thought for those weeks. People do not understand what we try to do for them and they break it anyways. We rack our brain and try! Any luck with Rscope? If you post the results I bet it would get answered here and it can be confusing at first, be patient (no pun intended).

Paul Some users will only learn the hard way. My new start up code checks the date of the Monday.zip file, if it is older than 1 day give them a nice big red and yellow warning message. I think I will add a wave file that will get their attention.
