Hi Tom, No problem!! Thanks for the info.
That's exactly what happened to me. The earlier version didn't really play very well, but then I did find the version 10 - somebody in the UK had a pretty neat site explaining a lot of things. The new version seemed to be acting properly. But, after playing with things about 4 hours, I got to thinking that perhaps my time could be better spent doing things that I 'need' to do!! Let me know how it goes with you once you get back on the project.
