Dominic THATS IT !!! all along its a problem with
Microsoft Office 2000. We run that on alot of our PC's at
work. If they dont have that service pack it comes up and
i checked alot of PC's and they dont have that service
pack. I installed the service pack and it went away.
Thanks soo much for your help !!!! I would've never
guessed it was a Office problem
