Yow, that's pretty strange. I cut-and-pasted your code, and I'm consistently getting a NO/YES combination.

What information can I give you that might help? I'm running Win2k Pro ... using the default Access databases, created the sc1/UserDirectory combination from Spectra by hand (the spectra installer was failing) .... this is a *clean* install of beta3; I uninstalled all previous versions first, maybe that's it?

Tell me if there's any info you want ... contact me offline if you think that's better.
