Whilst I'm glad 1.9.2 is working for Diane - the 'fix' in that version was really just a kludge :P With this uniaud16 - things seem to be REALLY fixed :) I'm still working on the code - I'll probably post an updated zip later today with some variations of the fix just to see what works best for peopls :) Cheers, Paul.
