Thanks for the reply, Mak.
I agree, I need to find out why this situation only rears its ugly head when I attempt a search, but how do I do that?
And I don't know anything about Search 4.0, so would downloading it necessarily preclude this from happening, or is 4.0 merely upgrading files from the earlier search function that would allow the problem to continue? I guess I could answer that myself by "just doing it", but thought I'd throw the question out here anyway! ;>)
Cheers to you, too! Mike
