Rodney, Many thanks for your reply...and I really appreciate you spending time on it. You are correct, the code comes from a 115U...just my luck! I have managed to get my hands on demo version of Quadriga earlier today, but it says 'application too large to open in demo mode'...Oh well, back to the drawing board as they say. Will check out Wonderware. All the very best and thanks once again. Cheers. Bob.
