    ah... I'd suggest doing a text search within your own program. That sure doesnt seem like a VB or windows error.

    I expect that is an check of somekind built into your software.
    Inheriting someone elses' work sure sucks, especially if there's no documentation.

    Is the ROMS applicaiton your app that you are trying to build? Or is it something else?
