You are right, there is the need for more checking of initialised variables and memory grabbing/releasing. I can see there were typing issues before, but with 1.1.6 I actually cannot believe how much faster it is. Perhaps something was fixed in the 1.1.5-1.1.6 cycle that has fixed this. In testing in the past few days I was actually amazed myself how quick it was. As I initially said to Bruce, lets get him onto a recent version and then let compare and see if we can track this down. JJS - thanks for your great work on the text selection and other areas of late.. very nice. Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
