Thanks for the tip, but I find that a more verbose message makes explicit what I am asking. How many times have you seen "I break my code with this error message: (error message.) Please help meEee!!!" and that's it. Do you suggest this tip whenever someone includes the contents of the last ten messages of a thread as quoted material below their three lines of response? In fact, a couple of times over the course of this week I've opened an email from Nick Wilson saying "Please post more information about your problem if you want us to help you." Which I think is appropriate, and I'm not criticizing you for this. But it takes a few extra seconds out of everyone's day to read messages like this, even those of us with high speed access. Don't you agree that if everyone took a few more words to say what they mean, we'd actually save a bit of bandwidth in the long run? Cheers, Erik
