Yuck. I was hoping that newer versions might have greater functionality. I guess Bill Door wants to make it as difficult as possible for people to develop for anything except the latest version. The only way I can see of doing all the testing I want is to set up one virtual machine per version and then run my code in each of the machines in turn. NOT what I was hoping to learn. Thanks anyway for some helpful information & for saving me time. Regards, John Davies	[reply]
