Many Thanks to both Rick & R.C. for your help.
Unfortunately although it seems to have corrected
my "mpr.dll" file, the program I want to use still won't
open. Instead it creates an error report, and even though
this is a text file, and tells me the exact address, if I
try to open it so I can copy it to send to the support
people where the program comes from, my computer says the
location is unavailable.
Any Ideas Guys?
Many thanks
Smooty
