thanks Duran and Markus......I will try the scripts later tonite and see what happens.....a few questions tho.....for Markus...that coding sure looks complicated! How would I go about deciphering it? I would l;ike to know what the script line by line does if possible. And Durand, in your script i didnt see a reference to the "n7us.net" that I connect with. OK i will try out ad post back tomorrow....thank you..bob
