Bingo! That's your problem. The program is obsolete. It's like trying

to run Windows 95 or 98, or an old paint/photo problem that crashed my

Word this week. It's like your theory of drinking and driving, you may

get away with it for a long time and then one night you're wrapped

around a telephone pole.

 

Your old programs are hitting a pole, lol.

 

I would NOT try to save them, I'd install new programs that are better

suited for interface with our modern computers and their demands. One

little corrupt file and your SOL.

I think I have Butch's order page working now but not sure about the secure CC

page.

 

It doesn't error out for me now.

Thank you ma'am. I have been thinking hard of sacrificing a bottle of

Turkish Raki to the Commo Spirits (recycled of course) but I am just too

danged busy to slow down now. ;-)

Yep .. matter of fact on that. Wasn't important so I didn't mention it

but our satellite TV also went down this week .. as well as my entire

I-Net & telephone system for 2 + days.

Dang system I have has worked well for 8 + years .. maybe it went down 2

or 3 times temporarily .. that's very good considering it gets a lots of

use .. 100 or so orders a week from servers world wide.

Thankee ma'am .. on both counts. :-P

Can't do that .. the holiday applies to the USA only .. got buyers in 87

countries outside the USA .. tough enough it is that my folks in MD work

only 5 days now. ;-)

 

> PPS this message brought to you by someone who hasn't had a vacation

I was like that for a lotta years .. but when I am not on vacation .. I

work an average of 100 hours a week .. that is not an exaggeration. I

like what I am doing. And this trip to Russia is more of an obligation

than it is a vacation for me. ;-)
