More specifically, "open" and "release" can/must/must not change any setting (resolution etc)? Should those functions keep a "counter" of how many programs opened it? bye, thank you Alessio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
