Elroy. Thank your for your time.

Question. Is your original scanner project the most recent one I updated in post #1 last week? Reason why I ask is that I had to make many modifications for DBCS and that version may be slower than the older version you have if you haven't donwloaded it? Your timings are curious if you are using the the recent version, I did expect a significant improvement between that version & the modified routines I gave you in my previous post.
