Thanks for the clarification Stefan.

I will be applying SP5 as soon as it arrives and let you know how it goes.  I am
running Oracle on my workstation and also Microsoft's Office tools.  Other than
that it's pretty vanilla.  It was born as WinNT 3.51 and has been upgraded from
there.

I haven't had a chance to give Shredder 4 a full go over yet, but I do like the
"Book" window that has been added.  Are there any sample "User Books" available
to follow when building a new one?

Regards.
