My own applications now automatically load the username and
password as determined by the configuration data - which is
why I could not fill in the detail, but I knew where you
were at.

If only there was just one way of doing things, but
Microsoft change the rules at every version, so we now have
several ways of doing things and none of them are really
right.

I have Linux/Kylix running and hope to have a lot of my
'grunt' systems moved over to that. The support I see there
is as good as IBO. It's a pity that Microsoft just keep
taking the money and sticking two fingers up, rather than
supporting users.
