John,
Thanks again for the reply. I'll ask them to compile on the Mac and see
how
things go. I'll look at getting rid of the ActiveDo***ent reference, as
well.
Again, I really appreciate the help. Due to the nature of our business,
we
very rarely work with Mac shops, so in a way this is good, as I'm getting
a
little education...
Ciao,
Tony
