Peter! "Methinks" you've uncovered a stealth whiner.
Janene put the primer on and you finished the job!
Hell, if this is going to be largely an off topic list I might as well shut
up and have fun.
Thanks for making me smile!
And, brightening up an otherwise non-plus hotel room.
John

don't want to start a thread that will tick the majority of thelist
off. The problems that you are having (have had) that hinder
thefunctionality of QP is understandable. If I had a problem with a
programthat wouldn't work I would have a gripe also ... who
wouldn't?I am having a hard time with your other problems though
... Methinks youwere thinking hard for problems to list.You
mentioned in a private email that ALL of your correspondence has
beenthrough private emails with QP tech support and not through the QP
emailgroup. I have heard your cries many times to Ken on this list
for Equissupport and future improvements (much of which I agree
with!). Why thechange in format with QP?Peter
