If not, you don't have the current V1.7.x installed properly. Also if/when you reply, please "Reply All" so this thread stays on the list for anyone else who may have similar problems either now or in the future. -klp Fred Bonani wrote: > Disregard my last email.... a little typo prevented me from logging in.
