You never know where they are taking you. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Okay, thanks Chris. Sean also helped me out. Cheers, Daniel Daniel Vaughan LinkedIn | Twitter | Blog | Microsoft MVP | Codon | Outcoder

I filed a bug report with my software over (among other things) the difference between 255,0,0 and 255,44,44; Somehow the ImageStream in a .resx file got corrupted when converting the project from 2k3 to 2k8 with all the 0 values in the images turned into 44's. The difference was subtle enough that no one noticed it until after a new version was released. :doh: 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
