    Thanks guys for your discussion, and I may be being a
    little naiive here, but how could this "product" have been
    put in the box when it just will not allow successful
    distribution of run time 2003 apps? (rhetorical of course
    but maybe an MS employee may care to contemplate). Sadly,
    for our latest app I have had to revert to ADE 97 which
    has "worked" reasonably for me for 6 years.
