Neither machine allows this - they both crash my program with a BadAlloc error. Does anyone know of any way to get this allocation to work - I need this badly. I know that there's enough memory on the machine to allow this - why won't it let me do this? Thanks. -Devin Devin Hooker (RP90) DoD #0034 "Time - don't ponder it too long..."
