Hello Rob,

Thanks for your help !. It worked but I have tried the
same option before seeing your reply.

I was trying various things , and somehow I went to the
below site

http://www.lanicu.com/index.cfm/whitepapers/Undocumented_C
ommand_Line_Options

Nicely writtern and dcoumented all information regarding
hotfix and patches , very good for people like me :).

FYI , I was not able to go into the link which you
mentioned.

Anyhow , thats a lot for your reply.

All the best !
Srivats
