Doug... If that's working on 7.2.7/Win I'd love to know how.  Things here
aren't the same as they were on 7.1.  Non-Windows versions appear to be
fine.  Windows versions... not so much.

Wally, my case # is 153722.  It was posted through my support contacts @ S7.
 Feel free to contact me off list if you need more info.
