That is really quite an old version of FSBD. If possible, I think you would be well served by updating to the latest version - 6.1 - if possible. I may be wrong, but I do not believe that there is a lot of support for that version anymore. I wish i could, but i dont have physical access to the machine - its in a remote location with no serial console. So if anything gets messed up during an upgrade, im in a hell of a lot of trouble. I dont know when i'll be able to fix this problem so until i can upgrade the OS i at least want to keep the rest of it up to date. Jen. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
