Mark, Chang,

Thanks very much indeed for the info: we're sorted now.

BTW do you know if there is any chance of VEA being released as a separate
product at some time in the near future? I'm a freelance Data
Analyst/Architect and don't need all the VB and C++ stuff present in VSEA.

Once again, thanks for your help...

Chris Bruce
