I do more converting VBA to other scripting languages, particularly Winbatch; I try to contribute when and if I can and keep whining at a minimum.

Truth be told, I was banned forever from Ozgrid after helping a user with a registry entry, which I was told after the fact violated some sort of security that one of their Approvers seemed to have made up. It seemed there is no such thing as privacy in that forum, Private emails are distributed to a 'Star Chamber' [how is that for knowledge of English History]... bottom line some little runt made unkind remarks about my being a VietNam era Vet; I returned in kind.....

Anyway, bygones... this is intelligent forum, as is witnessed by the increases in post and IMHO [good code!! good code!!]. Having just lost my job I am trying to fit some realtime between Bogart Martini's and CareerBuilder putting together a KB article on XML formats and developing useful scripts w/ MS's Logparser COM.
