Your reference to the v2 caveat is what I was referring to. What I learned many years ago was to use live data to try out software: bought, downloaded and home written. This way if errors pop up, I am more apt to notice them, and the software is being tested with real world data vs. simple stuff entered to test. How do I determine which version of the Java Runtine Engine is installed on my computer, and which version (hopefully the same) is OO running under. Is there a clear installation/upgrade procedure so I don't lock myself out of my financial data? What I find strange re: the JRE issue is: I can run calc and writer with no problem, only Base (of the same OO version) has the JRE issue. Thanks for the issue walk thru. I am going to hold off until I am comfortable that the issue is not on my computer, as opposed to the OO code. -- John R. Sowden AMERICAN SENTRY SYSTEMS, INC.
