Did I forget to mention that my archives are psychic?  LOL

It is interesting to note that I've seen nothing from the list in my email 
in the past 5 hours yet Drew's archive shows at least several posts.  I 
suspect mail is bouncing but can see no reason for this.

I saw something about using the usb drives in the archive.  The NT4 laptops 
don't recognize them as configured and the thin client terminals (WinCE) 
don't have USB ports.  I would like to be able to log on to a thin client 
session from my home, slice whatever files I need to a manageable size and 
email them to my home account as separate attachments from whence I can 
reassemble the files, burn to CD or forward as required.  An ideal solution 
would be something that does not require me to attend at the office when I 
need to do some work on any aspect of the application or the other things 
that I get called to attend to yet leave me the luxury of working at home.  
The office is 25 km over on the exact opposite side of the city and the one 
freeway that I can take is often worse than hitting traffic lights through 
town.

I've been using File I/O for years for other purposes and am now able to 
recreate all manner of files including mdb/e and xls files by simply reading

into a string variable and wrting out the string with a single write to a 
new file name.  The problem comes with a few extra bytes added with the 
split and reassemble.  Probably end of file marker or some such.  Guess I'll

have to take a hex editor to a small file and see what's happening.
