Hi John--

Again, quick on the fingers...thanks!

Perfect...i set an exception for port 3050, left the firewall on and
it's good to go.

One last Q then I promise, I'm off to the bar for a beer....

How did you know it was 3050? I didn't see any property like that
in the IB_Connection? Is there anything else that runs on 3050?

(As you can tell, i'm no server type)

Thanks and cheers!
Kelly
