In American slang - "You da man!" Thanks Tomasz, from
a quick screen of the change log it looks like there
are many new items that will improve AB. Some improved
usability in a small thing, like the toolbar wrap ( I
didn't know it was a bug I thought it was a feature
(;> and I learned to live with it.)..and Export Image
from OLE is a needed addition
Best regards
