Thanks for the link Ted - I had already found that one but was a little wary
about making registry entries straight up...

I can see a situation developing similar to XP v Vista when Vista was
introduced with the major corporates wanting to stay with Win 7 if that is
what they have chosen as their standard as Win 8 appears be so radically
different.

Hi James,
I'll toss out one more thing based on my running the demo form supplied by

Yes, I did purchase the source code. I've come to the conclusion that my

work the way I'd like it to.
Also, the lack of response from XFRX has turned me off this product for now.

Are you using the Export Options form object that's included? Again, I don't
use the Export Options dialog but I have the help file to be very useful and
there are a lot of good examples in there. I built my own wrapper around the
XFRX object pretty much based on working through the help file.
Exactly!

I've heard a lot of grumbling about Ubuntu's new Unity UI though I
haven't tried it myself. GNOME 3 is getting a rough receptio
The setparams doesn't seem to connect to the Export Options dialog that the
