Hi Ronn,
My new wireless broadband ISP has stuffed up my email, so I can only
respond
via this group.
The code in your recent private email to me complains about not finding
the ****__DEFINE procedure, which isn't in the .sav file that you
provided.
Would you please have a look for the appropriate ****__DEFINE.PRO file,
and
email that to me?
Many Thanks,
Andrew
