You can just click on the down arrow for a post, from the main forum page, and it displays the whole message thread. Also, when a new message is posted the thread is hi-lighted yellow and popped to the top. Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)

How many gold medals have you got now Paul? Is it still five, same as all the other MVPs? I bet they look really nice when they're all polished up. You should be due for your Micro$oft Eagle Scout badge soon. I believe Cor Ligthert has already got his, and he's got four knots on his woggle, so you'd better get a move on. Say something nice about Micro$oft. That's always a good move. You don't want to get left behind all the other creeps. Mike

Also, does it remember which you've read and which you haven't? Automatically jump to threads with new posts, and so on? -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org |
