Wondering if you are getting a collision between your includes and something the runtimes expects or doesn't expect to encounter, or perhaps something that is now contained within another include, runtime, or other since R6 or whatever the case is. Send me a list of your error report or post here. I doubt the fix is that hard. An error tells a thousand tales. Usually 2 or 3 fixes though is all that is needed. Robert Covington
