That's a known bug with NAV running on Win 9x. You'll need to disable Auto-Protect (right-click the NAV tray icon) while you're doing your build. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ #include "witty_sig.h" :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer:

You sir, are quite simply the man. I have gotten so used to using CSS and the occasional DHTML that any time someone asks me to do a page that is 3.x compliant I get the shakes. ;P Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net >------------------------------------------------< "Luckily," he went on, "you have come to exactly the right place with your interesting problem, for there is no such word as 'impossible' in my dictionary.

Why would anyone use a tool not made by Microsoft for use on Microsoft OS in the first place? :omg: you are right! What was I thinking. I love you WiMP! ;) Actually what I get annoyed with as well is that it does not affect the physical file names and lets face it a lot of us have poorly named MP3 collections. I am going to send my Wish through to MS right now :) The odd thing is the reason why I use WiMP is because it has such a good Playlist and Media Library feature. The problem I mentioned is the only glaring gripe I have with the software (apart from the fact that it looks like a cheap plasticine model) that I haven't sampled on anyone so don't know if it will insult them I feel honoured and not at all insulted Michael :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

and opposite to how you need it to work. Been using Microsoft Content Management Server? :-D That is my current pet hate product... it has eclipsed Netscape 4- even :omg: BTW - don't ever step on one of these in bare feet The operating manual even says others say that it offers protection from predators which naturally might prefer morsels that aren't so hard to swallow/stand on :-D We have a tree here in SA which has 4-inch, white, hard-as-nails thorns on it. These tend to regularly fall on the ground, pointy bit upwards. When I was 6 my sister stepped on one (she was 5) and it went right through her frikking foot! Man if you want to hear screaming just give that a bash. I think your critter and this thorn are related :-D

I don't understand pop-under or other annoying ads. Neither do I. If a user is likely to click an ad then it probably actually makes it harder for that person to click it by using pop-under ads. If a user is not likely to click an ad then you can do whatever you want but they still won't click the ad. Have naked dancing girls or free cash, they still won't click the damned thing. Tricky, sneaky and underhanded tactics just make intelligent users less likely than every before to click an ad. I'm probably in the minority but if a company uses annoying advertising tactics I will make a point of going to their competitor My problem is that my webmail provider, email.com, has recently started using pop-under ads (three in a bloody row as well!). I like the email.com service and I have been using it for quite awhile. Now I have the dilema of either sticking with them and gritting my teeth every time the ads appear, or switch to another service which I don't know. If I visit a new website that uses pop-ups or pop-unders then I click the back button myself. One good advertising tactic which I don't mind much is the interstitial advert. Those are the ones that when you click on a link it shows a fullscreen ad in your main browser window for a few seconds and then passes you onto the page you wanted (just make sure the link you click on is not direct to the advert or you will get serious flame mail :) ). That I don't mind, of course I would prefer no ads but if I had to pick the best of a bad bunch that would be the ad type I would choose. It is a bit of a catch22 situation though isn't it? If you don't have ads you either have to go the subscription route or face an empty bank account. But start using ads and users will be driven away. Go the subscription route and only diehard users will stay.

David lives in Tiverton he claims that it is overrun by obnoxious dwarves or dwarf's. Not sure which way he spells it but I think it makes him sound like Snow White having Dwarves around. ;P Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong.

An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall. A young man walked up to the bench and sat down. He had spiked hair all different colours - green, red, orange, blue, and yellow. The old man just stared. The young man said, "What's the matter, old timer? Never done anything wild in your life ?" The old man replied, "Got drunk once and rooted a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son". Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

Blast. Thats me out. I can't spell for tofee. We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.

Smart, I was curious too, but I am not gonna ask. Especially since John brought it up, I suspect I would need a LAS just to read the answer. :-D Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net >------------------------------------------------< "Luckily," he went on, "you have come to exactly the right place with your interesting problem, for there is no such word as 'impossible' in my dictionary.

Great googly moogly! Give the man a good beer, he nailed that one. I expected that someone would get the Little Nicky reference, but I didn't think anyone would remember the Hudson Hawke one! I suspect that I am in the presence of another person with what my mom likes to call "A Trivial Mind". :laugh: I guess I am going to have to start a thread on obscure movie quotes to see if I can flush any more out. :) Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net >------------------------------------------------< "Luckily," he went on, "you have come to exactly the right place with your interesting problem, for there is no such word as 'impossible' in my dictionary.
