I'm leaning more toward some sequence of keystrokes that this guy likes to do. When I create a form, I lean toward what I think is a logical sequence of events. Sometimes, anothers logic is not the same as mine. Go somebody!

I think the keyboards/mice/computers are much better protected now. I don’t think that is where you problem lies.

We had one person who was like this in our New Jersey plant years ago. No amount of grounding keyboards and anti-static mats on the floor seemed to help. So, all this time you’ve been searching for a software issue when in reality it is probably this simple. Emmitt Dove Converting Systems Architect Evergreen Packaging, Inc.
