> Hello Shenan
Thanks for your answer, I feel guilty now about the time you took to answer.
Late last night I got fed up with the problems I was getting with AOL9 and
lots of people were saying go back to AOL8, so thats what I did and I'm now
getting no problem .
Sorry, your answers will probaby come in handy if I upgrade to AOL9
