Thanks Chuck. I have done a bit of work in VB before. I wouldn't classify myself as a pro but I do have to games on my record (one player and two player) so I'm not totally helpless.

We spent about two months working on VB at school but we never learnt anything unsing the mouse. I will try to attach a code and maybe the whole thing (it's only about 300kb) later or another day. I can't do it today as I'm at the worng computer. Maybe this might help users see my dilema.
