   Oh....   
      
   Me too.  I'm an electronics technician. Well, since I passed the exams in 1963   
   I   
   have a piece of paper that says that. I tried making a living building and   
   debugging PCs myself back then, until these chip makers and programmers started   
   to produce new systems faster'n I could learn to follow them. Must be my age.   
      
   I assumed you had VB6 (I just misinterpreted your first line) - silly me!!   
      
   Even knowing that, I can't think why you're getting that problem, but there's a   
   bell chiming away in my head.  If only I could remember ......
