Weird. If the stack is corrupted how is Rev able to be open it? Have you sent the corrupted stack to RunRev? IT would be interesting o see if they could determine the source of the problem. In the one "corruption" case I had Scott was able to pin down the problem quickly once I sent him the stack (it was a graphic imported from SC through the RunRev converter with a property setting that exposed a bug in QuickDraw). All I had to do was replace the bad object and all was good after that. Hopefully your experience will prove as fruitful. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
