Hi Scott- > Don - Thanks. That took care of it. The bug actually cropped up in > 2.6b2, but I waited until the full release came out to see if it was > still there and reportable. Glad it's working now. Don't hesitate to let us know if you find a problem in the betas. We can't fix what we don't know is broke. ;-) Glad you downloaded quickly so I could get the patch out.
