Save it for when you're a bit more experienced. Yes alot of the code has changed and yes I have bpl18. I'm not the greatest code writer but I do know the basics. But thats besides the point. All I was looking for is a patch thats a little more up-to-date so I don't have to spend hours hand patching this one in. But thanks for making me feel like a moron. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
