Steve,
Thanks for posting your comments. My suggestion to the original poster was
based on my own experience, which has not produced a failure using the

I will certainly keep your comments in mind for the future (I already own
your product and purchased a 5-seat license for a client about a year ago -
so 'yer preachin' to the choir!).
